Splinter

Description

The Splinter card, numbered 146, is a notable inclusion in the 2005 Betrayers of Kamigawa expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Tsutomu Kawade, this uncommon sorcery has long been a staple in decks focused on artifact control. Its primary function allows players to exile a target artifact and then search the graveyard, hand, and library for all other cards sharing that artifact's name, exiling them as well before the opponent shuffles their library. Collectors value this card not just for its mechanical utility but for its place in the Kamigawa block's rich narrative. While the card’s power level shifts with the game's evolving meta, its design remains a key reference point for artifact interaction mechanics. Investors and completists often seek out cards like Splinter to build complete sets or to acquire reliable pieces for specific deck archetypes. The card’s straightforward green mana cost and its ability to sweep multiple instances of a problematic artifact make it a respected tool in competitive play. Whether you are looking to complete the Betrayers of Kamigawa checklist or add a versatile removal spell to your collection, Splinter holds a distinct place in Magic: The Gathering lore.
