Where it came from
Defense of the Heart was originally released in the 1999 Urza's Legacy expansion, representing a powerful enchantment that rewards players for maintaining a presence on the battlefield. It was reimagined for the Wilds of Eldraine: Enchanting Tales bonus sheet, a specialized subset of cards designed to evoke the fairy-tale aesthetic of the Eldraine plane while providing players with reprints of iconic cards with unique, thematic artistic treatments.
The Enchanting Tales version features artwork by Olena Richards, who adopted a whimsical, storybook-inspired style to fit the set's high-fantasy motif. This iteration was received as a bridge between the mechanical intensity of the original card and the ornate, folkloric visual identity of modern Magic: The Gathering card design, making it a popular choice for both competitive players and collectors who value distinct, immersive illustration styles.
