Provenance

Where it came from

Infested Roothold was released in 2004 as part of the Darksteel expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was themed around the metallic, artificial plane of Mirrodin, where the presence of dark steel influenced the world's ecosystem. The card was designed to reflect the set's focus on artifacts and the encroaching corruption of the landscape by metallic entities.

The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, who provided a visceral depiction of the card's theme, illustrating the parasitic relationship between nature and the plane's pervasive metal. Within the competitive landscape of the time, the card was viewed as a situational utility piece, appreciated by players for its ability to generate recurring tokens in specific deck archetypes during the Mirrodin block era.
