Where it came from
Kiora, the Crashing Wave was released in 2014 as part of the Born of the Gods expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a planeswalker card, it represents the character Kiora, a Merfolk planeswalker from the plane of Zendikar who seeks to summon massive sea creatures to combat the Eldrazi, the parasitic, world-consuming entities threatening her home. The card was designed to highlight her affinity for oceanic magic and her role as a tide-manipulating force within the game's broader narrative arc.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by Wesley Burt, who captured the character's fluid, ethereal aesthetic and her command over the sea. In terms of gameplay, the card was received as a versatile tool for control-oriented strategies, particularly in the Standard format of the era. It remains a notable example of early color-identity design for the Simic (blue and green) guild, emphasizing defensive resilience and resource management through its unique loyalty abilities.
