Where it came from
The Nightmare card, numbered 120, originates from the 1994 Summer Magic expansion, colloquially known as the Edgar set. Produced by Wizards of the Coast, this set was a limited print run designed specifically to address the stock shortages of the Magic: The Gathering Revised Edition in the European market. It is physically distinguished from earlier printings by its noticeably brighter, more vibrant color palette and a slightly different card stock finish, which made it a unique curiosity for collectors seeking printing variations.
The card features artwork by Anson Maddocks, a foundational artist for the game whose contribution to the early sets helped define the dark, gothic aesthetic of the fantasy setting. Maddocks’ portrayal of the nightmare creature focuses on skeletal, ethereal features that lean into the macabre themes of the game’s early period. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional staple for black-aligned decks, though the broader Edgar set was initially criticized for its printing inconsistencies before eventually becoming a highly sought-after piece of gaming history.
