Where it came from
Red Scarab was released in 1995 as part of the Ice Age expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed as a standalone expansion set in a glacial, post-apocalyptic world, moving away from the high-fantasy themes of earlier sets toward a harsher, survival-focused aesthetic. The card reflects the set's mechanical focus on protection and color-specific hosers, which were staples of early Magic design.
The card features artwork by Susan Van Camp, a prolific illustrator for the game during its formative years. Van Camp’s design utilizes a distinct, representational style common to the mid-nineties era of the game, depicting the scarab as a talismanic object of warding. Upon its release, the card was received as a niche utility piece, valued primarily for its niche ability to protect creatures from red spells in a competitive environment defined by aggressive red-based strategies.
