Provenance

Where it came from

The Mountain card from the Limited Edition Alpha set was released in 1993 as part of the inaugural launch of Magic: The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast. Conceived by Richard Garfield, the set sought to combine the depth of strategic card games with the collectible nature of baseball cards, establishing the fundamental mechanics of the mana system that still define the game today.

The artwork for this specific Mountain card was illustrated by Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific early contributors to the game’s aesthetic. Rush aimed for a stark, evocative representation of natural terrain that served as a visual anchor for the game's land cards, helping to distinguish the color-coded mana identities that remain central to the player experience.
