Provenance

Where it came from

Quirion Explorer was released in 2001 as part of the Planeshift expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to support the set's focus on domain mechanics, which rewarded players for controlling multiple basic land types, by allowing a player to search their library for a basic land card when the creature entered the battlefield.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Daren Bader, who contributed extensively to the visual identity of the game during this era. Bader’s work on this piece captures the lush, verdant aesthetic of the Quirion elves’ forest home, emphasizing the creature's role as a scout or pathfinder within the lore of the game's multiverse.
