Where it came from
Murder was introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Magic 2013 core set, released in July 2012. It was designed as a definitive, no-nonsense removal spell for black, intended to provide players with a straightforward way to destroy target creatures for a set mana cost. Its inclusion in a core set was part of a broader shift in design philosophy to provide clearer, more accessible interaction for players across different skill levels.
The card features artwork by Greg Staples, who rendered a dark, evocative scene reflecting the card's visceral function. His illustration emphasizes the finality of the spell, capturing a moment of lethal magical intervention. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the player base for its functional simplicity and versatility, quickly becoming a staple in both limited and constructed formats for its ability to cleanly answer threats without the restrictive conditions found on many of its predecessors.
