Provenance

Where it came from

The Plains card, collector number 252a, was released in the 2015 Magic: The Gathering set Battle for Zendikar. This set marked a return to the plane of Zendikar, a world defined by its dangerous, shifting landscape and its struggle against the encroaching Eldrazi. The land cards in this set were specifically designed to showcase the plane’s unique, floating geography and vibrant, otherworldly aesthetic, emphasizing the beauty of a world in peril.

Artist Adam Paquette, known for his ability to render expansive and atmospheric vistas, illustrated this Plains variant. His design choice for this card features a panoramic, sweeping view of the Zendikar horizon, focusing on the iconic floating rock formations that define the set’s visual identity. The artwork was well-received by the player base for its painterly style and its success in capturing the grand, untamed scale of the plane, helping to establish the immersive tone of the Battle for Zendikar block.
