Provenance

Where it came from

Raven's Crime was released in 2008 as part of the Eventide expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a card within the Shadowmoor block, it reflects the set's thematic preoccupation with the duality of light and shadow, set in a world where the sun never fully rises. Mechanically, the card utilizes the retrace keyword, a design choice intended to give players a way to utilize extra lands in their hand, emphasizing the set's focus on long-term resource management.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Kev Walker, a prominent figure in the game's visual history known for his gritty, atmospheric style. Walker’s depiction of the Raven's Crime captures the dark, folkloric aesthetic prevalent in the Shadowmoor block, focusing on unsettling imagery to match the card's function as a repeatable discard spell. Upon its release, it became a notable utility card in competitive formats, particularly for its synergy with graveyard-focused strategies.
