Provenance

Where it came from

Meandering River was released in 2018 as part of the Core Set 2019 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It serves as a functional land card that provides players with a choice between blue or white mana, entering the battlefield tapped to maintain a balance of power within the game's resource system. This design is part of a recurring cycle of tapped dual lands that Wizards of the Coast utilizes to provide accessible mana fixing for players in draft and sealed environments.

The artwork for this specific iteration was provided by Cliff Childs, a prolific illustrator for the game known for his atmospheric depictions of landscapes and environments. Childs aimed to capture a tranquil, winding waterway that fits the aesthetic of the Plains and Island color identities. The card was received by the community as a standard utility piece, valued primarily for its reliability in multi-colored decks during limited gameplay sessions.
