Provenance

Where it came from

Chromatic Star was originally introduced in the Time Spiral expansion in 2006, serving as a versatile mana-fixing artifact that allowed players to filter colors while drawing a card upon its destruction. It became a staple in various deck archetypes due to its efficiency in fueling strategies that rely on sacrificing permanents for value, such as those centered on recursion or artifacts.

The Tenth Edition printing, released in 2007, featured artwork by Alex Horley-Orlandelli. As part of the core set, this version was intended to maintain accessibility for newer players while reinforcing the card's utility in the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem. Horley-Orlandelli’s illustration captures the celestial and arcane essence of the item, aligning with the game's high-fantasy aesthetic and the functional, yet mysterious, nature of the artifact.
