Provenance

Where it came from

Char was originally released in the 2018 Guild Kit set for the Ravnica Allegiance block, serving as a reprint of a classic Magic: The Gathering spell. The card originated in the original Ravnica: City of Guilds set, designed to represent the aggressive and destructive nature of the Boros Legion. By including it in the GRN Guild Kit, Wizards of the Coast aimed to provide players with an iconic piece of Boros history that perfectly captured the guild's philosophy of swift, fiery justice.

The artwork for this version was rendered by Adam Rex, a veteran illustrator known for his dynamic and character-driven fantasy style. Rex chose to emphasize the chaotic energy of the spell, focusing on the visual impact of the magical blast. The design was received by the community as a quintessential Boros staple, praised for its straightforward utility and its ability to effectively bridge the gap between early-set nostalgia and the modern gameplay landscape of the time.
