Provenance

Where it came from

The Plains card, collector number 261, was released as part of the Core Set 2021 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed to be accessible to new players while providing a balanced environment for established fans, reflecting a tradition of periodic core sets meant to define the mechanical foundation of the game during their tenure in active play.

The artwork for this specific iteration was provided by Nils Hamm, a frequent contributor to the franchise known for a painterly, atmospheric style. Hamm’s design focuses on the serene and expansive nature of the plains landscape, utilizing a muted color palette to evoke a sense of quiet stability. Within the community, the card is recognized for its clean aesthetic, which serves the functional role of a basic land while maintaining the high artistic standards expected of modern Magic illustration.
