Provenance

Where it came from

The Island card from the Rivals Quick Start Set was released in 1997 as part of a beginner-friendly product designed to introduce new players to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set provided a simplified entry point during the game's rapid expansion in the late nineties, focusing on essential mechanics and core deck building through fixed, non-randomized cards.

The artwork for this specific Island was created by Mark Poole, one of the original illustrators for the game. Known for his evocative and painterly style, Poole’s depiction of the Island emphasizes a tranquil, watery landscape that aligns with the game's color-coded mana system. His work on these early sets is highly regarded for establishing the visual identity of Magic: The Gathering, favoring atmospheric, traditional fantasy aesthetics over the more digital, complex styles that would evolve in later years.
