Cerulean Wyvern

Cerulean Wyvern was originally printed as part of the Mirage expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released by Wizards of the Coast in October 1996. Designed as a blue creature card, it was emblematic of the set's focus on elemental themes and the rich lore of the Jamuraa continent, which marked a departure from the high-fantasy tropes of earlier expansions. The card was illustrated by Melissa A. Benson, whose work during this era helped define the distinct aesthetic of mid-nineties Magic through a blend of painterly detail and fantastical creature anatomy.

The item is categorized under The List, a curated selection of cards that Wizards of the Coast includes in Set Boosters to allow modern players access to reprints from the game's expansive history. By featuring the original Mirage set symbol and collector number, these versions serve as functional facsimiles of the 1996 original. While the card did not see significant competitive play during its initial run, it remains a notable piece for players interested in the evolution of blue-aligned flying creatures and the nostalgic visual style of early expansion sets.
