Provenance

Where it came from

Ravages of War was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms set, an expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game designed specifically for the Asian market. The set drew thematic inspiration from the historical 14th-century Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aiming to introduce players to the game through simplified rules and flavor text rooted in Chinese lore.

The card was illustrated by Fang Yue, whose work captures the gravity of the conflict depicted in the source material. As a functional variant of the well-known card Armageddon, it was designed to provide the same board-resetting power within the context of the set's unique strategic environment. Over time, it has become highly sought after by collectors and players due to its limited print run and the scarcity of English-language cards from this particular release.
