Provenance

Where it came from

Dross Crocodile was released in 2004 as part of the Fifth Dawn expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As the third and final set in the Mirrodin block, Fifth Dawn explored the metallic, artifact-saturated world of Mirrodin. The card reflects the grim transformation of biological life on the plane, specifically within the Dross—a region of toxic, industrial sludge where organic life is twisted into gruesome, metallic-fused forms.

The artwork was commissioned from fantasy illustrator Edward P. Beard, Jr., who was a prominent contributor to the game throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. His depiction of the Dross Crocodile emphasizes the creature's predatory, scavenged nature, utilizing a distinctively rugged style that defined much of the aesthetic for common cards of the era. Upon its release, the card was widely viewed as a functional utility creature, valued primarily by players building limited-format decks for its ability to grow in power through the sacrifice of artifacts.
