Where it came from
Presumed Dead was released in 2024 as part of the Murders at Karlov Manor set for Magic: The Gathering. The set introduced a top-down 'murder mystery' theme, shifting the game's focus toward investigative mechanics and noir-inspired aesthetics within the cityscape of Ravnica. This card specifically reflects the game's exploration of death and resurrection mechanics in a high-stakes urban setting, providing players with a utility piece that interacts with creatures leaving the battlefield.
The artwork was illustrated by Livia Prima, who utilized a dramatic, shadow-heavy style to capture the tension of a crime scene. The design process for this card focused on thematic resonance with the set's sleuthing motif, aiming to evoke the uncertainty of a character's demise in a fantasy world. Upon release, it was recognized by players for its efficiency in Limited formats, where the ability to reclaim key threats became a valuable tactical asset during the investigative arc of the set.
