Provenance

Where it came from

The Rust Monster card was introduced in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering set Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, a collaborative expansion that brought the lore and creatures of Dungeons & Dragons into the card game's mechanics. The set was designed to capture the classic, nostalgic aesthetic of early tabletop gaming, reimagining iconic monsters through the lens of modern card design.

Illustrated by artist Simon Dominic, the card depicts the creature in its signature insectoid form, focused on its unique ability to corrode metal equipment. It serves as a mechanical homage to the classic D&D encounter where players must protect their gear from the creature's destructive touch, and it was received by players as a flavorful addition that bridges the gap between the two iconic fantasy properties.
