Provenance

Where it came from

The Chaos Lord card was released in 1995 as part of the Ice Age expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Ice Age was a significant release as the first large, standalone set that allowed players to build decks without relying on the core set, shifting the game's competitive environment toward a modular strategy model.

The card was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, a prolific artist in the game's early history known for his distinctive, flowing line work and expressive figures. Chaos Lord reflects the chaotic, unpredictable design philosophy of red-aligned cards in the mid-nineties, often featuring high-risk, high-reward mechanics. While it remained a niche card in competitive play, it is recognized by collectors as a quintessential example of the darker, thematic artwork that defined the Ice Age set.
