Beanstalk Giant // Fertile Footsteps

Beanstalk Giant // Fertile Footsteps was originally released in the 2019 expansion Throne of Eldraine, a set inspired by the intersection of Arthurian legend and Grimms' fairy tales. Designed as a mechanical showcase for the set's signature 'Adventure' mechanic, the card allows players to cast a land-searching spell before deploying a creature that scales in power based on the number of lands in play. Its design philosophy centers on mid-to-late game utility, providing both early-game mana acceleration and a late-game threat that embodies the whimsical but dangerous nature of the set's folklore theme.

The version from 'The List' is a special reprinting that features the original art by Wisnu Tan. These cards appear in Set Boosters, serving as a curated archive of past Magic: The Gathering history. By including cards like this, Wizards of the Coast allows players to encounter impactful staples from recent rotations in a new context, preserving the identity of the original Throne of Eldraine aesthetic while integrating it into the modern ecosystem of the game.
