Provenance

Where it came from

Fetid Pools was released in April 2017 as part of the Amonkhet expansion set for Magic: The Gathering. As a land card featuring the 'cycling' mechanic, it was designed to provide players with flexible mana fixing in a desert-themed environment heavily inspired by Ancient Egyptian mythology. The card serves as part of a cycle of allied-color dual lands introduced in the set, aimed at balancing competitive play by allowing players to discard the card for a new one if it is not immediately needed.

The atmospheric illustration for the card was created by artist Titus Lunter. His work on this piece captures the stagnant, oppressive nature of the Amonkhet landscape, utilizing a muted palette and haunting environmental details to evoke the corruption of the plane under the influence of the antagonist Nicol Bolas. The design was well-received by players for its utilitarian effectiveness in deck building and its evocative contribution to the set's grim, sun-drenched aesthetic.
