Where it came from
Price of Progress was originally introduced in the 1998 Exodus expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed by Mike Elliott. It was conceived as a high-impact red sorcery intended to punish decks that utilized non-basic lands, reflecting the set's thematic emphasis on powerful, sometimes volatile effects. The card quickly became a staple in eternal formats due to its efficiency in pressuring opponents who relied on complex mana bases.
The version from the Eternal Masters set, released in 2016, features artwork by Dave Dorman. As a reprint set focused on cards that define legacy-style play, Eternal Masters sought to provide players with accessible copies of historically significant cards. Dorman's illustration maintains the intensity of the original, depicting the destructive consequences of unchecked expansion, a recurring visual motif in the game's depiction of the clash between progress and the natural world.
