Description
The 2003 Eighth Edition set remains a cornerstone for Magic: The Gathering collectors, and Murderous Betrayal (card number 147★) stands out as a notable rare within that release. Illustrated by Randy Gallegos, this black mana enchantment offers a powerful effect: by paying half your life, the card destroys a target non-black creature that cannot be regenerated. For investors and set builders alike, the star foil treatment marks this card as a sought-after parallel variant, distinguishing it from the standard rare prints in the expansion. Collecting Eighth Edition often requires tracking down high-finish cards like this star foil Murderous Betrayal to complete a premium collection. The card’s distinct design and foil finish appeal to those who value both the gameplay mechanics and the visual aesthetic of early 2000s TCG releases. Whether you are hunting for specific parallels or building a comprehensive archive of Magic’s history, this card represents a significant piece of the brand's legacy. ## Sources
