Provenance

Where it came from

Murder is a foundational instant spell within the Magic: The Gathering card game, originally debuting in the 2013 core set and becoming a staple removal card for the black color identity. Its function is straightforward: destroying a creature at instant speed, representing the finality of an assassination. It has been reprinted numerous times across different sets to provide players with consistent, reliable removal mechanics in limited and constructed formats.

The version from the Murders at Karlov Manor set, released in 2024, features new artwork by Richard Wright. The design reflects the top-down aesthetic of the set, which draws heavy inspiration from classic noir and murder mystery tropes. Wright’s illustration captures the dark, investigative tone of the Ravnica-based expansion, emphasizing the shadowy, atmospheric nature of the card's namesake act rather than a generic fantasy execution.
