Where it came from
Traitorous Greed was released in June 2020 as part of the Core Set 2021 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Wizards of the Coast, this sorcery card fits into the game's long-standing tradition of 'act of treason' effects, which allow a player to temporarily take control of an opponent's creature. The card was intended to provide a functional red-aligned utility tool, balancing its immediate tactical advantage with the temporary nature of its control.
The artwork for this card was illustrated by Wisnu Tan, who chose a vibrant, high-contrast aesthetic to capture the chaotic nature of the card's effect. The imagery depicts a moment of betrayal, emphasizing the opportunistic spirit of the red color identity within the game. Upon its release, it was well-received by players seeking affordable, common-rarity tools for limited and casual formats, serving as a reliable staple for aggressive deck archetypes during its tenure in the Standard rotation.
