Where it came from
Natural Selection is a rare green enchantment card originally released in the 1997 Magic: The Gathering expansion set, Mirage. It was later reprinted in the Unlimited Edition, which served as a bridge for players seeking to complete their sets with the game's evolving aesthetics. The card represents the core mechanics of the Mirage block, focusing on deck manipulation and the cycle of life and death, themes deeply embedded in the game's overarching fantasy lore during that period.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific and influential figures in the early history of the game. Rush utilized his signature style to depict the chaotic yet ordered nature of the wilderness. Within the community, the card is remembered for its distinct mechanical complexity, reflecting the design philosophy of the era where green magic was heavily defined by its connection to nature’s unpredictability and its role in managing deck resources.
