Fog

Fog was originally printed in the 1993 Limited Edition Alpha set as a common green instant, quickly becoming a foundational element of Magic: The Gathering due to its elegant simplicity. By preventing all combat damage that would be dealt during a turn, it established the 'fog effect' as a distinct defensive archetype that persists in the game design today. The artwork by Sandra Everingham is noted for its ethereal, misty aesthetic, which perfectly captures the card's function of obscuring the battlefield.

The version from The List, specifically identified as EMA-167, represents a reprint from the Eternal Masters set, which was curated to provide players with access to historically significant cards. The List was introduced by Wizards of the Coast as a rotating pool of cards included in Set Boosters to celebrate the game's expansive history. This particular reprint maintains the original visual identity while serving as a nod to the enduring utility of a card that has remained relevant across three decades of play.
