What it does
Whenever one or more creatures you control attack, each defending player divides all creatures without flying they control into a "left" pile and a "right" pile. Then, for each attacking creature you control, choose "left" or "right." That creature can't be blocked this combat except by creatures with flying and creatures in a pile with the chosen label.

Where it came from
Raging River was released in 1993 as part of the Limited Edition Alpha set, the foundational debut of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game was designed to blend the strategic depth of traditional wargaming with the collectible nature of baseball cards. This specific card, belonging to the 'ABU' (Alpha, Beta, Unlimited) era, reflects the experimental nature of early game mechanics, where complex rules like board manipulation and sub-games were introduced to test the boundaries of play.
The artwork for Raging River was illustrated by Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific and iconic artists from the game’s inception. Rush opted for a stark, illustrative style that emphasized the turbulent nature of the card's effect, which forced creatures to split into two different pathways during combat. The design and mechanics were met with interest for their complexity, though they ultimately cemented the card's status as a curiosity of early design history rather than a staple of competitive play, contributing to its distinct appeal among dedicated vintage collectors.
