Provenance

Where it came from

The Island card from the Portal Three Kingdoms set was released in 1999 as part of a standalone Magic: The Gathering product designed to introduce players to the game through simplified mechanics. The set was specifically themed around the 14th-century Chinese historical epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aiming to bring that narrative flavor to the game's established engine.

The artwork for this card features traditional East Asian-inspired landscape aesthetics intended to match the set's regional theme. While the artwork itself is unsigned on the card face, it adheres to the artistic direction of the mid-1990s Wizards of the Coast design team, which sought to distinguish Portal sets from core releases by utilizing more varied cultural motifs and a streamlined card frame.
