Where it came from
Released in December 1993, Ali Baba is a rare card from Arabian Nights, the first expansion set for the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed by Richard Garfield and was inspired by the themes and stories of One Thousand and One Nights. It was notable for being the first set to introduce the concept of expansion-specific mechanics and a distinct thematic identity separate from the core game.
The card features artwork by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the game's original art director. The illustration depicts the titular character from the classic Middle Eastern folk tale in a style consistent with the early, gritty aesthetic of the game's formative years. Mechanically, the card was designed to interact with wall-type creatures, a niche utility that has made it a subject of historical interest among collectors documenting the game's initial design philosophy.
