Where it came from
Elephant Grass was originally released in the Visions expansion in 1997, a set designed to evoke a theme of exotic, mystical landscapes. The card functions as a protective enchantment, utilizing the 'cumulative upkeep' mechanic introduced in this era to represent the difficulty of maintaining defenses against magical threats in a shifting environment.
The card was illustrated by Tony Roberts, who contributed several pieces to the game during the mid-nineties. His work on this card depicts a dense, hazardous thicket, emphasizing the natural barriers of the Mirage block's setting. The card has since been included in The List, a curated selection of reprints integrated into modern booster packs, ensuring its continued availability for players interested in historical mechanics.
