Provenance

Where it came from

Green Ward was originally released as part of the Alpha expansion set in 1993 for Magic: The Gathering, the foundational trading card game developed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast. The card was designed as a white-aligned enchantment that provides protection from green spells and permanents, reflecting the color pie philosophy where white magic utilizes defensive wards to counter the strengths of other colors.

The 30th Anniversary Edition version of Green Ward features the iconic original illustration by Quinton Hoover. Hoover was a prolific early contributor to the game, known for his distinctively lush and flowing artistic style. This commemorative printing was released in 2022 to celebrate three decades of the game's history, preserving the classic aesthetic of the 1993 original while utilizing a modern card frame and a commemorative back design.
