Where it came from
Murder is a classic removal spell in Magic: The Gathering, first introduced in the Magic 2013 core set and appearing here in the Core Set 2020 expansion. It serves as a fundamental black card, designed to provide players with a straightforward, unconditional way to destroy a target creature at instant speed. The card represents the efficiency of black mana, embodying the color's thematic focus on death and direct elimination.
The artwork for this particular iteration was created by Johannes Voss, a prominent illustrator within the game's community. Voss chose a stylistic approach that emphasizes the sudden, decisive nature of the spell rather than relying on overt gore, capturing the cold precision inherent to the black mana color identity. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its versatility and remains a staple in Limited formats where efficient creature removal is essential for maintaining board control.
