Provenance

Where it came from

Released in May 2008 as part of the Shadowmoor expansion for Magic: The Gathering, this basic Island card features artwork by the illustrator Yeong-Hao Han. The Shadowmoor set introduced a darker, gothic tone to the game’s lore, focusing on the concepts of light and shadow within the plane of Lorwyn. The design aesthetic for this series emphasized a sense of unsettling mystery and ethereal transformation, moving away from traditional idyllic landscapes to reflect the set's shifting, mutated environment.

Yeong-Hao Han’s illustration for this Island was created to evoke a sense of creeping gloom consistent with the Shadowmoor design directive. By employing a muted color palette and distorted, jagged organic shapes, the artwork highlights the plane’s transition into a permanent twilight state. The card was well-received by players for its atmospheric departure from the standard, vibrant island imagery, marking a significant entry in the block's visual identity.
