Provenance

Where it came from

Released in July 2015 as part of the Magic Origins expansion, this Island serves as one of the cycle of basic lands designed to reflect the backstories of the five planeswalkers featured in the set. Magic Origins was intended as a narrative bridge, exploring the origin stories of characters like Jace Beleren, Gideon Jura, and Liliana Vess, with the land art selected to represent the specific home planes where these characters first sparked.

The artwork for this specific card, numbered 259, was created by illustrator Richard Wright. Wright’s composition emphasizes the atmospheric and ethereal qualities of a coastal landscape, aligning with the visual identity established for the set’s exploration of world-building and character history. Like all basic lands in the expansion, it was widely distributed in booster packs and deck builder's toolkits, becoming a staple for players navigating the limited and constructed formats of the time.
