Provenance

Where it came from

Army Ants was released in October 1997 as part of the Visions expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Visions was designed to complete the cycle started by the Mirage set, focusing on more aggressive gameplay mechanics and thematic exploration of the Jamuraa continent's landscape and creatures.

The card was illustrated by Melissa A. Benson, a prominent artist during the game's early years. Benson's work on this card utilized a distinctive, slightly surreal aesthetic to depict the insectoid swarm, capturing the chaotic nature of the creature type. Upon its release, the card became a staple in green-based land destruction strategies, known for its ability to repeatedly disrupt opponent mana bases, and it remains a point of interest for collectors focusing on early MTG expansion aesthetics.
