Sandstorm deals 1 damage to each attacking creature.
Even the landscape turned against Sarsour, first rising up and pelting him, then rearranging itself so he could no longer find his way.

Where it came from
Sandstorm was released in 1993 as part of Arabian Nights, the first expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the set was inspired by the themes and folklore of One Thousand and One Nights. It was designed to introduce new mechanics and flavor to the burgeoning game, establishing a precedent for thematic expansion sets that would define the game's growth for decades to come.
The card's artwork was created by Brian Snõddy, a foundational illustrator during the game's early years. Snõddy employed a distinct, stylized approach that captured the high-fantasy aesthetic of the era. Within the context of the game's early design, Sandstorm was intended as a functional common card, serving as a tactical tool for green-aligned decks to manage small creatures. Its minimalist design and Snõddy's evocative imagery have since made it a recognizable piece of early Magic history among vintage collectors.
