Where it came from
The Obelisk of Jund was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for Magic: The Gathering. It represents one of the five mana-fixing artifacts tied to the plane of Alara, specifically the shard of Jund, a world defined by its violent, volcanic ecosystem and the cycle of predation. The design sought to encapsulate the shard's color identity of Red, Black, and Green, functioning both as a mana accelerant and a symbolic anchor for the deck archetypes of the era.
The illustration was provided by artist Cyril Van Der Haegen, who captured the rugged, monolithic aesthetic of the Jund landscape. The card was designed as a common-rarity utility piece to support the set’s multi-color drafting environment. It was well-received by players at the time for its functionality in providing reliable mana access in limited formats, becoming a standard staple for players looking to bridge the mechanical gaps between the three colors of the Jund shard.
