Where it came from
Deception is a black card from the Portal Three Kingdoms set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 1999. The set was specifically designed as an introductory product for the Asian market, drawing thematic inspiration from the historical 14th-century Chinese epic, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Unlike standard expansions of the time, the set utilized simplified mechanics to lower the barrier to entry for new players in regions like Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
The card features artwork by artist Qi Baoshan, who contributed a series of illustrations to the set that blended traditional Chinese artistic aesthetics with the requirements of the game's layout. The design reflects the set's broader intent to weave historical flavor into gameplay, though it was released in limited quantities outside of Asia. Its relative scarcity in the global market has since made it a sought-after piece for players interested in the unique localized history of the game's early years.
