Provenance

Where it came from

Personal Tutor was originally printed in the 1999 set Portal Three Kingdoms, a Magic: The Gathering expansion themed around the Chinese historical epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Designed primarily for the Asian market, the card was intended to introduce simpler mechanics to new players before becoming a staple in Commander formats for its ability to search for sorcery cards.

The 2023 Commander Masters printing features updated artwork by artist Joshua Raphael. Following the card's history of being a scarce, high-value staple, this version was created to increase accessibility for players within the Commander ecosystem, while maintaining the card's functional identity as a powerful utility spell.
