Provenance

Where it came from

Earthquake was originally printed in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield as a staple red sorcery that deals damage to each creature without flying and each player. The card was chosen for the Commander 2011 product line to provide a functional board wipe for players utilizing the red color identity, reflecting the design philosophy of providing essential utility cards to support the format's multiplayer mechanics.

This specific printing features the updated modern frame introduced during the shift in Magic's visual identity. The artwork depicts the chaotic force of the spell, staying true to the original concept of a sudden, ground-shaking elemental eruption. Within the Commander 2011 decks, this card served as a foundational piece for red decks needing to clear smaller utility creatures while simultaneously applying pressure to opponents' life totals.
