Where it came from
That Which Was Taken was released in 2005 as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa set, the second expansion in the Kamigawa block for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused on the conflict between the mortals of Kamigawa and the spirits known as the Kami, a theme deeply rooted in Japanese folklore and mythology. Within this mechanical framework, the card represents the central narrative arc of the block, depicting the soul of the emperor trapped within a mystical artifact.
The card was illustrated by Adam Rex, an artist known for his distinct, evocative style that often balances dark fantasy elements with intricate detail. Rex aimed to convey a sense of ancient, lingering power and entrapment, utilizing the card's frame to emphasize the artifact's significance as a pivot point for the expansion's lore. Upon release, players noted its high mana cost and specific utility, viewing it as a flavorful, if niche, inclusion that served as a thematic centerpiece for the block's ongoing storyline.
