Where it came from
Ravages of War was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was designed to introduce the game to new players in the Asian market, specifically focusing on the historical and literary themes of the 14th-century Chinese epic, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Mechanically, the card is a functional reprint of the classic card Armageddon, allowing a player to destroy all lands in play, a strategy that shifts the tempo of a game significantly.
The artwork for the card was created by artist Eric Peterson. As part of the Portal Three Kingdoms set, the visual direction leaned into traditional East Asian aesthetic sensibilities to match the thematic source material. The set was initially distributed with limited availability outside of the Asia-Pacific region, which contributed to its eventual scarcity and high status among long-term collectors, as players sought out these unique versions of core game effects.
