Island

This Island card was released in 2015 as part of the Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Kiora set, a product designed to feature pre-constructed decks built around the conflict between the planeswalkers Elspeth Tirel and Kiora. Like other entries in the long-running Duel Decks series, it served as an accessible entry point for players to experience established character rivalries through thematic gameplay, often including unique art or framing that distinguished the cards from standard expansion sets.

The artwork for this specific land, numbered 62 in the set, was commissioned by Wizards of the Coast to reflect the oceanic and mystical themes associated with Kiora’s connection to the sea. The visual style adheres to the high-fantasy aesthetic standard for Magic: The Gathering, aiming to provide a coherent landscape that captures the vast, watery environments Kiora commands within the game's lore. It was received as a functional and aesthetic addition to the set, typical of the consistent design language maintained across contemporary Wizards of the Coast supplemental products.
