Where it came from
Measure of Wickedness was released in 2005 as part of the Saviors of Kamigawa expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to embody the core mechanical identity of the set, which emphasized the size of a player's hand as a primary resource. It functions as a punishing enchantment, reflecting the dark, sacrificial themes prevalent in the black-aligned cards of the Kamigawa block, which drew heavy inspiration from Japanese folklore and Shinto mythology.
The artwork was illustrated by Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific and iconic early contributors to the game's aesthetic. Rush utilized his signature high-contrast, atmospheric style to capture the card's grim mechanical effect, focusing on the inevitable loss of life associated with the enchantment. Upon release, the card was viewed primarily as a niche tool for chaotic or highly specific black-red deck archetypes, valued more by casual players interested in complex game states than by competitive tournament players.
