Gaea's Revenge

Gaea's Revenge first appeared in the 2010 Magic: The Gathering set Magic 2011, designed to embody the raw, unstoppable power of green mana. As a creature that cannot be countered and possesses protection from blue and black spells, it was engineered as a high-impact finisher for aggressive midrange strategies, serving as a formidable threat against control decks that rely on spot removal or countermagic.

The card’s striking visual identity was crafted by artist Kekai Kotaki, who is celebrated for his evocative, dynamic fantasy illustrations. Kotaki’s depiction captures the essence of the elemental titan rising from the earth, emphasizing a sense of ancient, untamable scale. The version found in The List series—specifically referencing the Origin core set iteration—highlights the enduring popularity of this design, which has been reprinted across various supplemental products to maintain its presence in the game’s ever-evolving landscape.
