The Murders at Karlov Manor Art Series is a series of 49 art cards that can be found in Murders at Karlov Manor Play Boosters.

Description

With the introduction of Play Boosters in Murders at Karlov Manor, Wizards of the Coast switched from 81 art cards being made per set down to 49. Then with Outlaws of Thunder Junction going forward, there will be 54 art cards per set release. This change was made, in part, to reflect that fewer art cards are showing up in each pack.[1]

The front side depicts a piece of art from the set in either landscape or portrait orientation. The card back is mostly blank, with some collector's info (Magic logo, illustration credits, legal text, and collector numbers). For Murders at Karlov Manor, the back face of the art cards contain elements related to the puzzle. All cards have a grey border with three different types of interruptions — curves, zig-zags, and squared — while only some of the cards have a letter in a circle.

Art cards are similar to an artist's proofs and thus provide room to get an artist's signature or drawing on it. They can also be used as tokens for copy effects, as proxies, or if it is for a legendary creature it could be a good way to store experience counters, life total, commander tax, etc. Unlike standard Magic cards, there are no foil art cards. Instead, all of them are treated with a specially developed gloss varnish that brings out the art. The backs are left uncoated. Art cards appear 30% of the time in the 15th slot of Play Boosters (alternating with ad cards, tokens and helper cards). Approximately 14.3 percent of the time (1 in 7 chance), rather than a normal art card, you'll get one with a gold-stamped signature of the artist. Every art card exists in both its normal version and its signature version.[2]
