Provenance

Where it came from

Fastbond was originally released as a rare card in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield to be a high-powered green enchantment. It allows players to play additional lands per turn at the cost of life, a mechanic that quickly became infamous for fueling explosive, game-ending combinations. Its inclusion in the Collectors' Edition, a non-tournament-legal boxed set released in late 1993, served as a celebratory retrospective of the game's earliest cards.

The art for Fastbond was created by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic illustrators in the game's history. His depiction of a verdant, tangled forest canopy perfectly captured the card's theme of rapid growth and natural expansion. While the Collectors' Edition cards were never intended for competitive play due to their square corners and gold-bordered backs, they remain highly sought after by collectors for the quality of their printing and their faithful preservation of the original artwork.
