Mirari's Wake

Mirari's Wake first appeared in the Judgment expansion in 2002, representing a pivotal moment in the lore of the Otarian continent where the powerful artifact known as the Mirari was transformed into a protective moon. The card design serves as a representation of this divine intervention, providing both a combat buff to creatures and a mana-doubling effect to players, cementing its status as a staple in green-white strategy decks for over two decades.

The Commander 2017 printing featuring collector number 181 utilized the original illustration by artist Anthony S. Waters. Waters, a prolific illustrator during Magic's early-to-mid era, crafted a visual language defined by high fantasy motifs and ethereal lighting, which here captures the serene yet potent release of energy from the Mirari. Its inclusion in this supplemental set was widely welcomed by players who sought an accessible way to acquire a high-utility classic for their multiplayer format decks.
