Where it came from
Gorilla Shaman was originally released in the 1996 Alliances expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Christopher Rush, the card features a distinctive illustration of an ape-like figure wielding magical energy. The card was conceived as a niche utility tool, specifically designed to punish opponents who relied heavily on low-cost artifacts, a common strategy in the game's early competitive environment.
The version from The List, labeled MH2-280, serves as a reprint that maintains the aesthetic identity of the original while introducing the card to modern card frames and sets. The List is a curated selection of cards from throughout the history of Magic that appear in set boosters, intended to provide players with access to older, iconic cards. The card is widely recognized for its aggressive utility, which has allowed it to remain a relevant and debated inclusion in eternal formats for decades.
