Provenance

Where it came from

The Iron-Heart Chimera was released in 1996 as part of the Visions expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Visions was the second set in the Mirage block and was notable for being the first set designed specifically to be drafted alongside its predecessor, reflecting a shift toward more cohesive set mechanics and integrated world-building.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Brian Snoddy, whose distinctively rugged and textured style was a staple of early Magic expansions. Snoddy’s depiction of the Chimera captures the creature's mechanical and biological fusion, a common theme in the art of the era that sought to emphasize the fantastical, high-magic aesthetic of the Dominaria setting.
