Provenance

Where it came from

Murder was included in the Eldritch Moon expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released in July 2016. The set serves as the conclusion to the Shadows over Innistrad block, centering on the psychological horror and cosmic dread of the Eldrazi titan Emrakul corrupting the gothic plane of Innistrad. As a staple removal spell, the card was designed to provide players with a straightforward, effective answer to threats during a format defined by transformative and overwhelming supernatural entities.

The artwork was created by Tyler Jacobson, an illustrator known for his dramatic lighting and realistic character portrayals within the fantasy genre. For this piece, Jacobson was tasked with depicting a sudden, decisive act of lethal violence consistent with the dark, gothic tone of the Innistrad setting. The illustration focuses on the grim utility of the spell, capturing a moment of stark finality that resonated well with players who favored efficient, no-nonsense answers in competitive and limited play.
