Provenance

Where it came from

The Obelisk of Naya was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set introduced the concept of the five shards of the Alara plane, each defined by a specific three-color identity. The card was designed to support the 'Naya' shard, represented by the colors green, red, and white, which emphasized the growth of large creatures and the raw power of the wilderness.

The card was illustrated by Steve Prescott, a veteran artist known for his dynamic and textured style. Prescott sought to capture the towering, primal aesthetic of the Naya landscape, creating an artifact that felt like an ancient, integrated piece of the environment. As a common-rarity mana ramp tool, it served as a functional building block for the set's limited environment and casual tribal decks, reflecting the era's focus on color-fixing for multi-color archetypes.
