Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2009 Magic: The Gathering expansion Zendikar, this Island card is part of a celebrated cycle of full-art basic lands. The set's theme centered on exploration and adventure, prompting Wizards of the Coast to move away from the traditional border constraints of basic lands to better showcase the epic scale of the game's landscapes.

John Avon, a veteran fantasy illustrator, created the artwork for this particular piece. His design aimed to capture the surreal, otherworldly beauty of the Zendikar plane, utilizing vibrant color palettes and vast horizons to immerse players in the setting. The full-art treatment was met with significant enthusiasm from the player community, establishing these lands as iconic staples in both casual play and collector circles.
