Provenance

Where it came from

The Battle for Zendikar set was released in October 2015, marking a return to the plane of Zendikar in the Magic: The Gathering card game. This specific Island, numbered 255a, is one of the distinct full-art basic lands that defined the set's aesthetic, emphasizing the world's untamed, soaring landscape through a minimalist borderless frame.

Noah Bradley illustrated this piece as part of a cycle of lands intended to evoke the expansive, perilous beauty of the Zendikar wilderness. The artwork was widely praised by the player community for its atmospheric lighting and sense of scale, and it remains a sought-after staple for players seeking to enhance the visual presentation of their decks.
