Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion, this basic land card was designed specifically to introduce the Magic: The Gathering trading card game to the Asian market. The set drew thematic inspiration from the historical 14th-century Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aiming to blend Western gameplay mechanics with Eastern cultural motifs and narratives to foster deeper regional engagement.

The artwork for this Plains card was commissioned from He Jiancheng, a professional artist tasked with capturing the tranquil essence of the Chinese landscape. Eschewing the traditional fantasy aesthetics prevalent in earlier sets, the design focuses on minimalist, evocative brushwork intended to mirror the scroll painting style associated with the era’s artistic traditions. While mechanically identical to standard basic lands, the card is widely recognized by enthusiasts for its distinct aesthetic departure and its status as a foundational piece of a niche, geographically targeted release.
