Where it came from
Borrowing 100,000 Arrows was originally released as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms set in 1999, designed to introduce Magic: The Gathering to the Asian market by adapting stories from the Chinese historical epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The card depicts the famous ruse by Zhuge Liang, who used straw-filled boats to trick the enemy into firing thousands of arrows at him, effectively restocking his own supply. This narrative-heavy approach was a departure from standard fantasy tropes of the time, aiming to ground the game mechanics in familiar literary history for regional players.
For the 2018 Masters 25 set, Wizards of the Coast selected the card to commemorate the history of the game, utilizing art by Li Bo. This version sought to provide a high-quality, modern frame for a card that had become notoriously difficult to obtain due to the limited print run of its original set. While some players appreciated the reprint for its functional utility, others scrutinized the illustration for how it balanced the classic aesthetic of the original with the polished, contemporary art style expected of a premium commemorative set.
