Where it came from
Price of Progress was originally introduced as a rare card in the 2000 Magic: The Gathering expansion set, Invasion. Designed by the development team at Wizards of the Coast, the card was intended to serve as a high-impact, situational burn spell for red decks, specifically punishing opponents who relied heavily on non-basic lands to stabilize their mana bases. Its design reflects the set's themes of environmental and structural upheaval within the game's narrative.
The card later appeared in The List, a curated selection of cards that Wizards of the Coast occasionally includes in Set Boosters to introduce players to reprints from across Magic's history. This inclusion ensures that classic cards remain accessible to modern collectors while maintaining their original mechanical identity. As a non-basic land hate card, it has remained a staple in various constructed formats, valued for its efficiency in punishing greedy deck-building strategies.
