Provenance

Where it came from

The Death Ward card is a reprint from the 30th Anniversary Edition of Magic: The Gathering, a limited-run collection released in 2022 to commemorate three decades of the trading card game. This set was designed to mimic the aesthetic and feel of the original 1993 Alpha release, utilizing the classic card frame and back design. It was created as a celebratory product for long-time enthusiasts, providing a nostalgic recreation of the game's earliest iterations.

Originally appearing in the Alpha set, Death Ward was illustrated by Sandra Everingham. Her work for early Magic sets typically featured a hand-painted, fantasy-illustration style that defined the game's initial visual identity. While the original cards were aimed at establishing a new genre of strategic play, the 30th Anniversary reissues were crafted with a distinct, premium-focused approach, intended as collectible art pieces rather than tournament-legal game components.
