Item Lore
Released in the 1997 Tempest set, this card is a classic example of the "sea serpent" archetype that defined early Magic: The Gathering creature design. Jim Nelson’s illustration captures the imposing, oceanic scale of the creature, making it a nostalgic favorite for players who appreciate the aesthetic of the game's formative years.
