Master's Rebuke

Master's Rebuke was originally released as an uncommon instant in the 2022 Magic: The Gathering expansion Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. Designed by the team at Wizards of the Coast, the card is set in the reimagined version of the plane of Kamigawa, which blends traditional Japanese-inspired aesthetics with futuristic, cyberpunk technology. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a rotating selection of cards from throughout Magic’s history—allows players to encounter cards from past sets within current booster packs, serving as a way to maintain accessibility for older or thematic designs.

The artwork for the card, created by artist Games Workshop and Games Workshop's internal studios, depicts a monk-like figure channelling energy to deflect or punish an opponent. It reflects the set's central conflict between spiritual tradition and mechanical advancement. Upon release, the card was noted for its clean, efficient design within the context of the set's limited environment, offering a functional removal option that resonates with the tactical identity of the Kamigawa plane.
