Provenance

Where it came from

Burning-Tree Emissary was originally introduced in the 2013 Gatecrash expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a aggressive creature for the Gruul Clans guild, the card was intended to accelerate gameplay by allowing players to cast a two-mana threat while simultaneously putting another creature onto the battlefield, effectively fueling rapid board development in red-green decks.

The Double Masters 2022 printing, numbered 189, serves as a high-end reprint of this iconic uncommon card. Featuring updated borderless art by artist Wisnu Tan, this version was created to celebrate the card's enduring impact on formats like Modern and Pauper, where its ability to swing the momentum of a game remains a hallmark of efficient, tempo-oriented creature design.
