Where it came from
Slice from the Shadows was released in 2024 as part of the Murders at Karlov Manor set for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed to lean into a top-down 'murder mystery' aesthetic, drawing inspiration from classic noir and detective fiction tropes. As a black-aligned instant, this card was created to provide players with a versatile removal tool that emphasizes the set's themes of investigation and hidden threats, allowing for efficient board interaction during gameplay.
The card features artwork by artist Jason A. Engle, who utilized a moody, atmospheric style consistent with the gothic-fantasy backdrop of Ravnica. The design intentionally evokes a sense of sudden, unseen peril, fitting the mechanics of the card which allow it to be played from a graveyard to surprise an opponent. Upon release, it was well-regarded by players for its flexibility and tactical utility, particularly within the Limited format where graveyard interaction often plays a central role.
