Where it came from
Cathedral of War was introduced in the Magic 2013 core set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2012. As a land card featuring the exalted mechanic—an ability that rewards attacking with a single creature—it was designed to provide aggressive support for players favoring combat-focused strategies. The card evokes the aesthetic of a monolithic, militant structure, fitting within the high-fantasy landscape established by the core set's broader art direction.
The illustration for the card was created by artist Jung Park, who utilized a dramatic, vertical perspective to emphasize the intimidating architecture of the cathedral. Park aimed to convey a sense of divine martial power, reflecting the card's function of bolstering a lone soldier. Upon its release, it was generally well-received by players of the limited format, where its ability to scale in power over time made it a consistent and reliable inclusion for offensive decks.
