Where it came from
The Obelisk of Urd was released in 2014 as part of the Magic 2015 core set. Mechanically designed to support tribal synergy decks, the card allows players to grant a substantial power and toughness boost to creatures of a chosen type by tapping existing creatures on the battlefield through the convoke keyword. This design was intended to reward players for building focused, creature-heavy decks while providing a colorless artifact option that could fit into any color identity.
The artwork was created by Igor Kieryluk, who focused on rendering a monolithic, ancient structure that evokes a sense of immense, dormant power. In the context of the game's lore, the Urd represents a primordial or legendary figure, and the card's visual aesthetic leans into high-fantasy brutalism. Upon release, it was well-received by the player base for its utility in Commander and casual formats, where its ability to function as a win condition for tribal strategies remains highly regarded.
