Provenance

Where it came from

Released in May 2008 as part of the Shadowmoor expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this Island card reflects the dark, folklore-inspired aesthetic of the set. Shadowmoor introduced a world characterized by an eternal twilight, shifting the visual language of the game away from the vibrant colors of the preceding Lorwyn set toward a gloomier, more unsettling atmosphere defined by twisted nature and eerie lighting.

The artwork was created by the artist John Avon, a prominent illustrator in the Magic: The Gathering community known for his atmospheric landscape work. Avon aimed to capture the essence of a mysterious, shadow-drenched wetland, utilizing muted tones and soft light to evoke the melancholy theme of the plane. The card was well-received by players for its immersive depiction of the set's distinct environment, and it remains a sought-after basic land for collectors interested in thematic cohesion.
