Provenance

Where it came from

Kongming, Sleeping Dragon was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion for the Magic: The Gathering card game. The set was designed to introduce players in the Asian market to the game by utilizing themes and figures from the 14th-century Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The cards featured unique mechanics meant to be more accessible than the standard ruleset of the time.

The art and thematic design of the set were intended to pay homage to the historical and literary figures of the era. Zhuge Liang, known by his courtesy name Kongming and the moniker Sleeping Dragon, is depicted as a brilliant strategist. The card's ability reflects his reputation for wisdom and foresight, allowing players to manipulate the top of their library, a mechanic that has maintained a niche utility in competitive play for years.
