Where it came from
The Island card numbered 259a from the Battle for Zendikar set was released by Wizards of the Coast in October 2015. This specific card belongs to a series of full-art basic lands designed to evoke the dramatic, adventurous spirit of the Zendikar plane, a setting characterized by its rugged terrain and floating landmasses. The set was created to return players to this popular high-fantasy environment, leaning into an aesthetic of exploration and dangerous discovery.
The artwork for this card was executed by Adam Paquette, who was tasked with capturing the essence of the plane through expansive, painterly landscapes. His approach emphasized the sheer scale of the environment, utilizing the full-art frame to immerse the player in the scenery. The card was widely well-received by the Magic: The Gathering community, primarily for its stunning visual appeal and the departure from the traditional text-heavy formatting of basic lands, making these versions highly sought after by collectors.
