Provenance

Where it came from

The Armageddon card featured in the 2004 Judge Gift set was produced by Wizards of the Coast as an exclusive reward for individuals serving in the DCI Judge Program. These cards were distributed to recognize the dedication of judges who moderated organized play tournaments, functioning as a thank-you gift for their ongoing service to the community.

The illustration was commissioned from John Avon, a prominent landscape artist known for his atmospheric contributions to the game. Avon opted for a sweeping, dramatic depiction of a scorched landscape, moving away from the more literal interpretations of destruction found in earlier versions of the card to emphasize a sense of profound, elemental finality that aligns with the card's powerful gameplay effect.
