Where it came from
Birds of Paradise was originally released in the 1993 Alpha set as a core piece of Magic: The Gathering’s initial design, created by Richard Garfield. As one of the game's most iconic mana-acceleration cards, it represented the power of green mana to facilitate faster gameplay. The artwork by Mark Poole became synonymous with the card's identity, featuring a vibrant, stylized avian creature that captured the ethereal nature of the game’s early aesthetic.
The Pro Tour Collector Set, which includes this specific version, was issued in the late 1990s as a retrospective product intended for fans and collectors. These sets were designed to commemorate the competitive landscape of the Pro Tour, offering non-tournament-legal versions of influential cards. While these versions are distinct from their original counterparts due to specific back markings and gold-foil borders, they remain a sought-after piece of the game's history, preserving the iconic illustrations for a broader audience.
