Where it came from
Famine was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms set, an expansion for the Magic: The Gathering card game. This set was specifically designed to introduce the game to the Asian market by centering its narrative and artistic direction on the 14th-century Chinese historical epic, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Given the strategic focus of the Portal line, the card was crafted to be mechanically accessible to newer players while capturing the flavor of historical warfare.
The card’s design reflects the thematic weight of its namesake, depicting the widespread suffering and tactical hardship often associated with siege warfare during the Three Kingdoms period. The illustration adheres to the set's unique artistic direction, which moved away from the high-fantasy aesthetic of mainstream sets to embrace a more grounded, painterly style. While the set was originally limited in its initial distribution, it has since become a sought-after piece of gaming history for its niche cultural perspective and distinct visual identity.
