Where it came from
Released in October 2012 as part of the Return to Ravnica expansion for Magic: The Gathering, this card represents one of the basic land types set within the sprawling, ecumenopolis plane of Ravnica. Wizards of the Coast commissioned this specific series of lands to visually convey the vertical, city-wide architecture of the plane, moving away from traditional pastoral depictions of islands to showcase the artificial canals and flooded subterranean districts of the cityscape.
The artwork was created by Noah Bradley, who aimed to capture the monumental scale and layered density of Ravnica's infrastructure. By focusing on the interplay between the shimmering water and the imposing stone spires that define the city's aesthetic, Bradley sought to evoke a sense of quiet grandeur within a bustling urban environment. Upon release, the cycle of lands from this set was well-received by the player base for successfully translating the block's unique urban theme into a cohesive visual language.
