Provenance

Where it came from

Burrowing was released in 1993 as part of Limited Edition Beta, the second printing of the original Magic: The Gathering base set. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed to meet the overwhelming demand for the game after the limited Alpha print run sold out. The artwork for the card was provided by Jeff A. Menges, who contributed illustrations for several early sets and aimed to capture a grounded, illustrative fantasy style that defined the game's initial aesthetic.

The card belongs to the early era of the game where design mechanics were often experimental and whimsical. While the card is a humble common, it serves as a historical artifact of the Limited Edition Beta set, which is highly sought after by collectors for its role in establishing the foundation of the trading card game hobby. The art and layout reflect the raw, DIY graphic design sensibilities prevalent in the gaming industry during the early 1990s.
