What it does
Flying
We encountered a valley topped with immense boulders and eerie rock formations. Suddenly one of these boulders toppled from its perch and sprouted gargantuan wings, casting a shadow of darkness and sending us fleeing in terror.

Where it came from
The Roc of Kher Ridges appeared in the inaugural 1993 Limited Edition Alpha set for Magic: The Gathering, released by Wizards of the Coast. Designed by Richard Garfield, the card was part of an experimental tabletop experience that combined elements of traditional fantasy wargaming with the collectability of sports cards. As a common creature card, it helped define the early aesthetic of the game's creature-based combat, utilizing a top-down design philosophy meant to evoke the mythology of giant birds of prey dwelling in the harsh terrain of the Kher Ridges.
The artwork for the card was provided by Quinton Hoover, one of the most prolific and recognizable illustrators of the game's infancy. Hoover employed his signature style, characterized by soft, flowing linework and vibrant, dreamlike palettes, which stood in contrast to the more jagged illustrations found elsewhere in the Alpha set. His depiction of the creature solidified the card's place in the early visual canon of the game, and the piece remains a nostalgic touchstone for collectors who appreciate the foundational artistic era of the Trading Card Game genre.
