Where it came from
They Went This Way was released in early 2024 as part of the Murders at Karlov Manor set for Magic: The Gathering. The card represents the set's central focus on top-down detective tropes, depicting a character investigating a crime scene within the sprawling, Ravnican cityscape. Mechanically, the card serves as a thematic utility piece, allowing players to search for lands or creatures, mirroring the process of tracking a suspect through the plane's dense urban environment.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Wisnu Tan, who emphasizes the dramatic atmosphere of the investigation. The visual style leans into the noir-inspired aesthetic established for the set, prioritizing shadow and environmental storytelling to convey the sense of urgency inherent in a mystery-themed expansion. It was received as a functional, flavor-forward common card designed to provide players with consistent deck-thinning capabilities during limited and casual play formats.
