Jandor's Ring

Jandor's Ring was first released in the 1994 Summer Magic set, also known as Edgar. This set was a limited-run re-release of the original Limited Edition Alpha and Beta cards, produced by Wizards of the Coast to address the burgeoning demand for Magic: The Gathering. The card is distinguished from its predecessors by a slightly different color saturation and a white border, which served to differentiate these reprints from the original black-bordered editions.

The artwork for the card was created by artist Dan Frazier, a foundational illustrator in the early days of Magic: The Gathering. Frazier’s design for the ring evokes a sense of arcane utility, capturing the aesthetic sensibilities of high fantasy illustration prevalent in the mid-1990s. While Jandor's Ring is considered a niche card in competitive play due to its high activation cost, it remains a notable piece of Magic history for collectors interested in the transition period of the game's early printings.
