Where it came from
Choking Vines was released in 1997 as part of the Weatherlight expansion, the final set in the Mirage block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set concluded the overarching storyline centered on the flying skyship Weatherlight and its crew. As a green instant, the card was designed to represent the flavor of natural defenses within the game's mechanics, providing players with a thematic way to disrupt flying creatures.
The artwork for the card was created by comic book artist and illustrator Ted Naifeh. Known for his distinctively stark and gothic style, Naifeh aimed to capture the visceral, entangling nature of the spell through organic, twisting imagery. While the card is a common-rarity utility piece that saw limited competitive play, it remains a notable example of the stylistic variety curated by the game's art directors during the mid-nineties, reflecting the shift toward more stylized, auteur-driven card illustrations.
