Provenance

Where it came from

The Island card from the Ixalan Standard Showdown set was released in 2017 as part of a promotional series distributed to local game stores. These cards were intended to reward consistent attendance and competitive play during the Ixalan block, featuring a unique frame design and specific scarcity that distinguished them from the standard set releases. The distribution process aimed to drive engagement with the Standard format by providing players with exclusive, tournament-branded versions of essential utility cards.

The artwork for this particular Island was created by Rebecca Guay, a celebrated illustrator known for her distinct, ethereal watercolor style that defined much of the aesthetic of early Magic: The Gathering. By the time this card was commissioned, Guay had become an iconic figure within the community, and her return to illustrate lands for the Standard Showdown program was met with significant enthusiasm from long-time collectors who valued her soft, painterly approach in contrast to the increasingly digital art direction of the game.
