Where it came from
City of Brass was originally released in the Arabian Nights expansion in 1993, representing one of the earliest examples of a land card that could produce any color of mana at the cost of one life. The card draws its thematic inspiration from the mythical Brass City of Islamic folklore, often associated with tales of explorers venturing into the desert to find lost treasures. By the time it was reprinted in the 2013 Modern Masters set, the card had become a cornerstone of various competitive formats due to its versatility and efficiency in multi-colored decks.
The art featured in the Modern Masters release was illustrated by Titus Lunter, who was tasked with reimagining the iconic location while maintaining the card's established mechanical legacy. Lunter’s depiction emphasizes the grand, shimmering architecture of the legendary city, capturing an imposing and ethereal aesthetic that distinguishes it from previous versions. Upon its inclusion in the Modern Masters set, the card was well-received by players for its updated visual clarity and its essential utility in the Modern format’s competitive landscape.
