Jungle Shrine

Jungle Shrine was originally introduced in the Shards of Alara set in 2008, designed to support the Naya shard, which focuses on the synergy between red, green, and white mana. As a land card that provides access to all three colors, it became a cornerstone for tri-color decks, offering essential color fixing at the cost of entering the battlefield tapped. This specific printing comes from the Modern Masters 2017 set, a curated compilation intended to provide players with sought-after cards for the Modern format.

The artwork for the card was created by artist Trevor Claxton. In keeping with the thematic identity of the Naya shard, the illustration depicts a vibrant, lush environment that emphasizes the wild, overgrown nature of the plane. The visual style aims to convey a sense of ancient power and organic growth, a design choice that was well-received by players for its ability to ground the card in the established lore of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse.
