Telim'Tor's Darts

Telim'Tor's Darts was released as part of the Mirage expansion for Magic: The Gathering in October 1996. Set on the plane of Rabiah, the expansion was the final chapter of the Mirage block, which drew heavy aesthetic inspiration from African folklore and diverse cultural mythologies. This specific card was designed to function as a repeatable damage-dealing artifact, reflecting the set's mechanical focus on utility artifacts that could be activated during play.

The card features artwork by illustrator Amy Weber, a prolific early Magic artist who was instrumental in defining the visual identity of the game's first few years. Her illustration for the Darts utilizes a stylized, painterly approach to depict the weapon, fitting into the broader artistic direction of Mirage which sought to move toward more atmospheric and painterly landscapes and artifacts compared to the rigid, high-fantasy style of the game's earliest sets. While the card is not considered a competitive staple, it remains a recognized artifact from the mid-nineties era of the game.
