Provenance

Where it came from

The Netherese Puzzle-Ward was released as part of the Battle for Baldur's Gate set for Magic: The Gathering in 2022. It serves as a narrative artifact reflecting the high-magic, arcane history of the ancient Netherese Empire within the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms campaign setting. The card was designed to mechanically represent the complex, multi-layered defensive enchantments that characterized the lost cities of that era.

The illustration for the card was provided by artist Titus Lunter, who focused on capturing the ethereal and geometric nature of Netherese architecture. By utilizing glowing sigils and shifting perspectives, the artwork aims to evoke a sense of ancient mystery and technological superiority. Upon its release, it was well-received by players focusing on enchantment-synergy decks for its unique ability to manage battlefield resources.
