Where it came from
Defense of the Heart was originally released in the 1999 Urza's Destiny expansion, serving as a powerful top-down design meant to represent a sudden, overwhelming mobilization of a forest's defenders. It was reintroduced in the 2023 Wilds of Eldraine set as part of the Enchanting Tales bonus sheet, a collection of reprints curated to reflect the fairytale aesthetic of the plane. This version reimagines the card through a thematic lens that fits the storybook motifs central to the set's identity.
The artwork for this particular printing was commissioned from artist Hisashi Momose. Known for a distinct stylistic approach, Momose captures the magical and ethereal atmosphere of the Eldraine wilderness, moving away from the more grounded, mechanical feel of the card's original Urza-era illustration. Upon its release in Enchanting Tales, the card was well-received by players for its balance of utility and visual flair, becoming a sought-after piece for collectors focusing on alternate-art enchantments.
