Where it came from
Bayou was originally released as part of the Dual Lands cycle in the 1993 Alpha set for Magic: The Gathering, designed by Richard Garfield to provide efficient mana fixing. The Collectors' Edition, released in late 1993, was a non-tournament-legal boxed set intended for collectors who missed the initial limited print runs. It features square corners and gold-bordered backs, distinguishing it from the standard cards found in booster packs.
The artwork for Bayou was created by illustrator Christopher Rush, who was a foundational artist for the early game. His work was characterized by a distinct, painterly aesthetic that helped define the dark fantasy tone of the original sets. While the Collectors' Edition cards were not permitted for use in official competitive play, they have since become highly sought-after artifacts for their preservation of Rush's early iconic imagery.
