Where it came from
Mending Hands was released in 2005 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Ninth Edition core set. Core sets during this era were designed to serve as an accessible introduction for new players, featuring reprints of cards that provided foundational gameplay mechanics while rotating out older, less balanced options to maintain a consistent competitive environment.
The artwork was provided by Douglas Shuler, a foundational illustrator who contributed to the game's original Alpha set. Shuler’s style for this piece adheres to the fantasy aesthetic typical of the early 2000s, focusing on clear, illustrative depictions of restorative magic to ensure the card’s function as a preventative spell was immediately intuitive to players.
