Provenance

Where it came from

Bog Serpent was released in 2007 as part of the Planar Chaos expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was unique in its premise, depicting an alternate reality where the color pie—the fundamental philosophy governing the game's mechanics—was shifted, leading to card effects that felt familiar yet strangely out of place for their associated colors.

The card was illustrated by Thomas M. Baxa, a prolific artist known for his dark and visceral creature designs within the Magic franchise. For this piece, Baxa leaned into the swampy, ominous aesthetic characteristic of Black-aligned creatures, focusing on the creature's menacing scale and the murky, claustrophobic environment of its habitat to emphasize its role as a common, yet unsettling, denizen of the bog.
