Provenance

Where it came from

Gaze of Pain was released in 1995 as part of the Ice Age expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, this set was notable for introducing a standalone, winter-themed environment that expanded the game's lore during a period of rapid growth for the hobby. The card was designed to reflect the set's focus on high-risk, high-reward mechanics, requiring players to sacrifice their own resources to deal damage to opponents.

The artwork for Gaze of Pain was created by the illustrator Daniel Gelon, a prolific contributor to early Magic sets whose work helped define the dark, fantasy-driven aesthetic of the 1990s. His composition emphasizes the card's theme of psychological and physical toll, using stark imagery to represent the painful exchange inherent in its function. While the card is not considered a competitive staple, it remains a recognized example of the thematic depth pursued by early card designers.
