Lore

Why it matters

As an instant card from the Alliances set, Gorilla War Cry functions as a reactive tool that allows a player to influence the flow of the game at a moment's notice. While its status as a common makes it widely accessible, collectors often value such cards for the distinct aesthetic contributions of artists like Bryon Wackwitz to the history of the game.

Provenance

Where it came from

Gorilla War Cry was released in 1996 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set Alliances. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Alliances was the second set in the Ice Age block and introduced a variety of strategic mechanics meant to alter the pace of the game. Within the context of this setting, the card serves as a thematic piece of the desperate, icy warfare depicted in the Dominarian lore of that era.

The artwork was provided by Bryon Wackwitz, an artist known for his contributions to the game during its early growth. Wackwitz utilized a bold, illustrative style to capture the primal ferocity implied by the card's name. As a common card in the set, it was designed to provide functional utility for players utilizing red-aligned decks, focusing on mechanics that allow for temporary board presence and combat versatility.
