Provenance

Where it came from

Greater Gargadon was released in the 2006 Magic: The Gathering set Time Spiral. As part of a set heavily rooted in nostalgia, the card was designed to evoke the high-cost, high-impact creatures of the game's early years, specifically utilizing the suspend mechanic to balance its immense power against a delayed entry to the battlefield.

The artwork was commissioned from Rob Alexander, a prolific artist known for his foundational work on Magic's landscapes. Alexander rendered the creature with a sense of geologic scale, focusing on the gargantuan, ancient aesthetic that defines the Gargadon's presence within the lore of the Tolarian Academy's time-warped environment.
