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 originated in the Limited Edition Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering, released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. As a card within the 'Reserved List' category, it represents the early experimental design phase of the game, where Richard Garfield sought to introduce high-variance, interactive mechanics that forced players to make physical decisions about combat resolution. The card is mechanically notable for its ability to split attacking creatures into two separate piles, significantly complicating the defender's blocking strategy.
The International Collectors' Edition (ICE) version, featuring the distinct gold-bordered back, was produced in 1993 as a non-tournament-legal display set intended for European markets. The art for Raging River was created by Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific and iconic early illustrators for the game. His design utilizes a surreal, painterly style that emphasizes the chaotic, elemental nature of the card's effect, capturing the imaginative aesthetic that defined the game's initial release period.
