Where it came from
Nurturing Licid was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a member of the Licid creature cycle, it introduced a unique rules mechanic allowing players to switch the card between a creature and an enchantment at instant speed. This set was designed by Mike Elliott and his team to revitalize the game with innovative mechanics and a cohesive thematic arc centered on the conflict between the Weatherlight crew and the plane of Rath.
The card features artwork by Mark Poole, a veteran illustrator known for his contributions to the game’s early years. Poole’s design for the Nurturing Licid leans into the organic, otherworldly aesthetic that defined the Rath storyline, depicting the creature as a symbiotic entity. Upon release, the Licid cards were recognized for their complex interaction with the game's layer system and rules, eventually becoming a notable curiosity for collectors interested in the mechanical history of 1990s card design.
