Where it came from
Slaughter was released in 1998 as part of the Exodus expansion, the third and final set in the Rath Cycle of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set focused on the narrative of the plane of Rath and introduced mechanics that emphasized aggressive, resource-draining gameplay. As an uncommon black instant, Slaughter provided players with a flexible removal tool, reflecting the set's dark, high-stakes thematic backdrop.
The card’s visual identity was crafted by veteran Magic illustrator Pete Venters, known for his prolific contributions to the game’s early aesthetic. Venters employed a visceral, gothic style for this illustration, aiming to capture the immediate and lethal nature of the card's effect. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional, if niche, piece of utility in black-aligned decks, praised for its straightforward design and the haunting quality of its artwork.
