Where it came from
Ivory Cup was released in 1994 as part of the Revised Edition of Magic: The Gathering, the third core set for the trading card game. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed to consolidate the game's early rules and broaden its reach after the massive success of the Alpha and Beta printings. As an artifact card, the Ivory Cup serves as a life-gain mechanic, reflecting the game's early focus on direct, color-coded interactions where players could regain health by casting white spells.
The card features an illustration by Dan Frazier, one of the original artists whose work defined the visual aesthetic of early Magic. Frazier’s design leans into a classic, high-fantasy style, utilizing a clean, iconic rendering of the cup that matches the simple, functional card designs of the mid-1990s. While it is not considered a high-powered card in competitive play, it remains a nostalgic staple for collectors who appreciate the minimalist design language of the Revised Edition.
