Provenance

Where it came from

Breeding Pool is a land card featured in the Magic: The Gathering expansion set Ravnica: City of Guilds, released in 2005. Designed to represent the Simic Combine’s bio-engineered laboratory environments, the card serves as a dual land, allowing players to access both green and blue mana. It reflects the set's central theme of urban-nature fusion, where the Simic guild focuses on rapid evolution and biological experimentation within the sprawling cityscape of Ravnica.

The artwork for the card was created by artist Heather Hudson. She intended to capture the sterile yet organic aesthetic of the Simic laboratories, emphasizing the watery, mutated growth containers characteristic of the guild's aesthetic. The design was received favorably by the Magic community for its utility in competitive play, quickly becoming a staple in various formats due to its versatility and ability to facilitate complex color combinations.
