Mulch

Mulch was originally introduced in the Stronghold expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 1998. The card is a green sorcery designed to provide players with land-searching utility and graveyard synergy, fitting into the game's broader mechanical focus on resource management and graveyard utilization. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a rotating selection of reprinted cards curated by Wizards of the Coast for inclusion in Set Boosters—highlights its enduring utility in casual and draft environments.

The artwork for this version was illustrated by Christopher Moeller, a prolific artist known for his distinct, painterly style that helped define the visual identity of Magic cards in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Moeller’s design for Mulch captures the rustic, grounded nature of the game's green color identity, emphasizing the elemental process of decay and growth. The card has been well-regarded by players for its efficient design, remaining a staple tool for deck-thinning and fueling graveyard-reliant strategies over the decades.
