Where it came from
Broken Dam was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms set, an expansion designed primarily for the Asian market. The set sought to translate the historical narrative of the 14th-century Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms into the mechanics of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. By focusing on simplified gameplay, the set aimed to introduce players in regions like Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to the game's core systems while rooting the lore in accessible historical and literary events.
The card's illustration was provided by artist Jiang Zhuqing, who contributed to the set's unique visual identity. The design reflects the tactical nature of the source material, portraying the tactical usage of water as a weapon during the tumultuous wars of the period. While the set was originally limited in distribution, it later gained significant status among global collectors due to its unique aesthetic and the historical significance of the literary adaptations depicted across its common and rare cards.
