Where it came from
Path of Discovery was released in early 2018 as part of the Rivals of Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to support the 'explore' mechanic, a thematic centerpiece of the Ixalan block that reflected the set's central narrative of exploration and survival in a Mesoamerican-inspired jungle setting. Mechanically, it serves as a powerful engine for creature-heavy decks, rewarding players for expanding their board state by providing card selection and incremental growth.
The card’s art was illustrated by Daarken, a long-time contributor to the game who is known for his atmospheric and immersive fantasy landscapes. His work on this piece captures the sense of wonder and the dense, vibrant foliage associated with the Plane of Ixalan. Upon its release, the card gained significant traction in the Commander format, where its ability to trigger repeatedly across large boards made it a staple for players utilizing green creature strategies.
