Provenance

Where it came from

Exhaustion was released in 1998 as part of the Portal Second Age set, a standalone product designed by Wizards of the Coast to act as an entry point for new players. The set aimed to simplify the complex mechanics of Magic: The Gathering by focusing on a more intuitive, combat-oriented experience, with cards that featured stripped-back terminology and simplified reminder text to reduce the barrier to entry for newcomers.

The card was illustrated by Donato Giancola, a highly respected fantasy artist known for his painterly style and depth of composition. His design for Exhaustion captures the debilitating fatigue described by the card's effect, using somber tones and a weary figure to reflect the game mechanic of preventing an opponent's lands from untapping during their next turn, effectively slowing the pace of play for the adversary.
