Provenance

Where it came from

City of Shadows was released in 1994 as part of The Dark, the fifth expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to evoke a gothic, horror-themed atmosphere, building upon the expanding lore of the game’s multiverse. The card itself functions as a land, introduced to provide players with unique utility in managing creatures during gameplay.

The artwork for the card was created by artist Quinton Hoover, known for his distinct, fluid style that often characterized the early years of the game. Hoover’s illustration for City of Shadows captures a melancholic, urban decay consistent with the dark fantasy aesthetic of the set. Upon its release, the card became a notable example of the experimental land designs of the era, reflecting the creative ambition of the game's nascent development team.
