Provenance

Where it came from

Throat Slitter was introduced as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa set in 2005, representing the second installment in the Kamigawa block for Magic: The Gathering. The card belongs to the 'The List' subset, a curated collection of reprints that Wizards of the Coast inserts into Set Boosters to highlight notable mechanics or thematic elements from the game's extensive history. It captures the dark, supernatural aesthetic of the Kamigawa plane, which drew heavily from Japanese folklore and mythology.

The artwork was provided by Paolo Parente, a prolific illustrator known for his work on numerous Magic sets during the early 2000s. Parente employed his signature gritty, illustrative style to depict the lethal elegance of the ninja archetype central to the set's mechanics. The card's design specifically features the 'ninjutsu' ability, which was received by players as a compelling and innovative way to facilitate surprise combat interactions, cementing its place in the lore of the set.
