Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion, this Island card was designed specifically for the Asian market to introduce Magic: The Gathering to new players. The set is based on the 14th-century Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, blending traditional fantasy gaming mechanics with the legendary figures and landscapes of East Asian history.

The artwork was created by Ku Xueming, who contributed a distinct painterly style to the set that departed from the Western fantasy aesthetic prevalent in earlier Magic releases. His depiction of the Island captures a serene, stylized landscape consistent with the cultural setting of the expansion, and it remains a point of interest for collectors who appreciate the unique visual identity of the Portal era.
