Where it came from
Broken Dam was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion set. Designed specifically for the Asian market, this set focused on the historical and legendary figures of the Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The set was created to introduce new players to the mechanics of Magic: The Gathering through simplified rules and flavor tied to Chinese history, rather than the high-fantasy setting of the core game.
The card's design follows the standard aesthetic of the Portal series, utilizing distinct border treatments and art styles meant to evoke a sense of period-appropriate illustration. The artwork for Broken Dam depicts a strategic military flooding event, a common tactic used during the chaotic conflict of the Three Kingdoms era. As a niche release that saw limited distribution outside of East Asia at the time, it remains a point of interest for collectors seeking to complete regional expansions.
