Provenance

Where it came from

Exhaustion was released in 1997 as part of Portal, an entry-level Magic: The Gathering set designed to introduce new players to the game. The set simplified complex rules and featured unique card frames and streamlined mechanics to lower the barrier to entry, marking a strategic shift for Wizards of the Coast to expand their player base beyond established hobbyists.

The card was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, a prominent artist in the early years of the game known for his distinctive, flowing style. In this piece, Hoover utilized a soft, expressive aesthetic to convey the physical and magical toll of the 'exhaustion' effect, aligning with the set's goal of using evocative art to help beginners intuitively grasp the function of each spell.
