Farmstead

The Farmstead card originates from the Summer Magic set, colloquially known as Edgar, which was released in 1994. This set was produced by Wizards of the Coast as a replacement for the Revised Edition of Magic: The Gathering, following a significant printing error that resulted in cards with incorrect color saturation and darkened borders. The set was distributed primarily through a private sale and remains a unique chapter in the game's history due to its limited availability and distinct aesthetic qualities compared to standard retail sets.

The art and design of the Summer Magic cards largely mirror the original illustrations found in the Revised Edition, utilizing the classic fantasy style established during the game's early years. The Farmstead card, which features a pastoral depiction of a homestead, was designed to fit into the game's broader mechanics of land and utility enchantments. Because it was essentially a corrective reprint, the set was received by the community as a rare variant, gaining significant historical interest among collectors who appreciate the nuances of early production runs and the specific, vibrant color palette that sets Edgar apart from its counterparts.
