Where it came from
Ivory Tower was originally released in the 1994 Antiquities expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed by Richard Garfield to emphasize the theme of archeological discovery and ancient machinery. The card quickly became a staple in control-oriented decks due to its ability to provide significant life gain when a player held a large hand, forcing opponents to rethink their pacing and resource management. Its inclusion in the 1997 Pro Tour Collector Set, which featured championship-winning deck lists from the era, served as a tribute to its pervasive influence on early professional play.
The artwork for the card was created by Margaret Organ-Kean, who utilized a delicate, illustrative style to capture the isolation and structural elegance of the titular tower. Her design reflects the broader aesthetic of the Antiquities set, which favored themes of industrial decay and classical architectural motifs. The card was well-received by players for both its strategic utility and its visual contribution to the game’s growing lore, remaining a recognizable icon from the early years of the hobby.
