Provenance

Where it came from

The Hydra token was released as part of the Journey into Nyx expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, which debuted in May 2014. As the third and final installment of the Theros block, the set leaned heavily into Greek mythology, with tokens designed to represent the various creatures summoned by cards like Heroes' Bane or Polukranos, World Eater.

The art for this specific token was crafted by Aleksi Briclot, a prolific illustrator for Wizards of the Coast. Briclot utilized a vibrant, ethereal aesthetic consistent with the Nyx-themed world of Theros, characterized by starry celestial patterns and a sense of divine scale that helped distinguish the set's token creatures from those found in more grounded expansion releases.
