Provenance

Where it came from

The Obelisk of Undoing was originally introduced in the Revised Edition of Magic: The Gathering in 1994, designed as a utility artifact that allowed players to return a permanent they controlled to their hand. Its inclusion in the 1995 Chronicles expansion brought the card to a broader audience, as the set was specifically created to reprint popular or thematic cards from the game’s early limited-edition sets, which were becoming increasingly difficult for new players to acquire at the time.

Artist Tom Wänerstrand provided the illustration for the card, leaning into a surreal, monolithic aesthetic that defined much of the early visual identity of the game's artifacts. While the card is often remembered for its mechanical niche, its place in the Chronicles set serves as a historical marker for the era when Wizards of the Coast began experimenting with reprint strategies to manage the rapid growth and card scarcity of their burgeoning trading card game.
