Provenance

Where it came from

Run Aground was released in 2017 as part of the Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed around a high-adventure theme centered on tribal conflict, specifically featuring explorers and pirates navigating a Mesoamerican-inspired continent. This card reflects the set's focus on interaction and thematic board control, designed to simulate the sudden, disruptive nature of a ship meeting a reef.

The card features artwork by Sara Winters, who contributed several pieces to the Ixalan block. Her illustration emphasizes the chaotic, watery turmoil of the set’s nautical environment, capturing the moment a vessel is halted by shallow waters. Within the context of competitive and limited play, the card serves as a functional common, valued for its ability to provide tempo by removing a threat while manipulating the opponent's library.
