Provenance

Where it came from

Desert was originally released in the Arabian Nights expansion in 1993, the first set to feature a specific thematic narrative in the game of Magic: The Gathering. As a land card that deals damage to attacking creatures, it was designed to reflect the harsh and unforgiving nature of a desert environment, a concept central to the Arabian Nights motif that sought to evoke folklore and adventure.

The artwork for this specific version, appearing in The List, was rendered by the late artist Glen Angus. Known for his distinct, expressive style, Angus crafted a haunting and desolate landscape that captures the isolation of the desert. The piece was well-received by players for its atmospheric quality, and while the card has appeared in various reprints, the Angus illustration remains a recognized contribution to the game's visual legacy.
