Provenance

Where it came from

Alert Shu Infantry was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was uniquely designed to introduce the game to the Asian market by focusing on the characters and narratives of the historical Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was specifically engineered with simplified rules to appeal to new players, moving away from the complex mechanics typical of the main base sets at the time.

The artwork for the card was created by Solomon Au Yeung, whose illustrations for this set were commissioned to provide an authentic aesthetic that aligned with the historical source material. Au Yeung’s work for the series is noted for its classical composition, emphasizing the period-specific attire and weaponry of the Shu Han forces. While the set had a limited release compared to other Magic expansions, the card remains a notable artifact for those interested in the crossover between Western tabletop games and Eastern historical literature.
