Flying Carpet

The Flying Carpet card is a notable artifact from the 1994 Summer Magic expansion, often referred to as the Edgar set. This specific release was produced by Wizards of the Coast for the Italian market as a follow-up to the Revised Edition. It was created during a period of rapid international expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, designed to provide localized versions of core set cards to European players, though its print run remains a subject of intense historical interest among hobbyists due to its unique status as a distinct regional variation.

The card features artwork that maintains the thematic aesthetic established in the game's early years, emphasizing the fantastical, high-fantasy tone of the original release. The illustration is designed to evoke a sense of ancient mysticism, adhering to the standard visual language of the core set. While the card mechanics are identical to those found in the English Revised Edition, the Summer Magic printing is distinguished by its specific, slightly modified printing process and saturated color palette, which have made it a prized target for collectors seeking variants of foundational cards.
