Where it came from
Released in September 2014 as part of the Khans of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering, this basic Island card represents one of the five distinct aesthetics featured in the set. The set was designed to evoke a war-torn world inspired by the history and culture of the Central Asian steppes, emphasizing the conflict between five distinct clans. As a basic land, it provides the fundamental utility required for blue-aligned decks, serving as both a functional game piece and a window into the thematic environment of Tarkir.
The artwork for this specific card was commissioned by Wizards of the Coast to reflect the rugged, expansive landscapes of the Sultai Brood's territory. Illustrators for the set were tasked with capturing the 'wedge' color identity, blending natural beauty with the oppressive, murky atmosphere characteristic of the Sultai region. Upon its release, players and collectors responded favorably to the atmospheric quality of the lands, noting that the art successfully conveyed the set's high-fantasy, militaristic narrative through its depiction of treacherous terrain.
