Where it came from
Riding the Dilu Horse was released in 1999 as part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set was designed as an introductory product for the Asian market, specifically focusing on the historical and legendary characters from the 14th-century Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The card depicts a legendary steed known for its supposed ability to carry its rider to safety during times of great peril.
The artwork was created by veteran fantasy illustrator Christopher Rush, who was tasked with visualizing the mythic qualities of the horse within the game's mechanics. The design emphasizes the horse's agility and the lore-driven narrative of Liu Bei's escape from assassination. The card is noted by players for its unique ability, which allows a creature to bypass traditional defenses, reflecting the horse's reputation for navigating treacherous terrain.
