Provenance

Where it came from

Citanul Centaurs was released in 1998 as part of the Urza's Saga expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a rare creature, it reflects the block's focus on powerful artifacts and the complex, high-fantasy narrative surrounding the artificer Urza. The card was designed to highlight the setting of Argoth and the conflict between nature and machine, represented mechanically by its ability to tap artifacts to provide a power boost.

The card features artwork by Val Mayerik, a prolific illustrator known for his work in both comics and fantasy gaming. Mayerik aimed to capture the rugged, woodland aesthetic of the Centaurs, utilizing a visceral, textured style that was characteristic of the era's card art. While it did not become a defining tournament staple, it remains a nostalgic piece for players who appreciate the visual evolution of the game during the late nineties.
