Maze's End

Maze's End was originally released as a rare land card in the 2013 Dragon's Maze expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed to serve as the narrative and mechanical centerpiece of the set, the card represents the culmination of the block's focus on the ten guilds of Ravnica. Its design allows players to search their library for guildgates, reflecting the search for the titular location hidden beneath the plane of Ravnica, and provides a unique alternative win condition that rewards players for successfully gathering all ten guild gates on the battlefield.

The artwork for the card was created by Cliff Childs, who sought to capture the grand, ominous scale of the maze's conclusion. The visual design emphasizes a sprawling, ancient structure buried within the urban landscape of the city-plane, aligning with the lore of the Izzet League's experiments. Upon its release, the card was widely received as a flavorful, high-risk utility land that appealed primarily to casual and Commander players rather than those focused on high-level competitive play, where the mana requirements were often viewed as too cumbersome.
