Where it came from
Shuriken was released in 2005 as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa expansion, the second set in the Kamigawa block for Magic: The Gathering. Drawing heavy inspiration from Japanese folklore and feudal history, the set sought to immerse players in a high-fantasy version of historical Japan. This specific artifact was designed to capture the flavor of shinobi warfare, functioning as a colorless equipment card that reflects the tactical utility of a throwing blade in a duel.
The card’s artwork was rendered by veteran Magic illustrator Matt Cavotta. Known for his ability to emphasize the visceral nature of combat items, Cavotta utilized a sharp, focused composition that highlights the metallic texture and lethal intent of the shuriken. Upon its release, the card was received as a niche but thematic inclusion in the set, appreciated by players for its flavorful interaction with ninja creatures and its distinct place within the equipment-heavy mechanics of the Kamigawa era.
