Scion of Glaciers

Scion of Glaciers was originally released in the 2014 Magic: The Gathering expansion Khans of Tarkir. The set was designed around the theme of warring clans on the plane of Tarkir, with this specific card representing the Sultai Brood, a faction defined by their utilization of necromancy and ancient, forbidden magic. It was illustrated by Nils Hamm, whose work often features atmospheric, painterly textures that emphasize the darker, more mysterious elements of the game's lore.

The version from 'The List' is a special inclusion found in Set Boosters, a product line introduced by Wizards of the Coast to curate reprints of notable cards from throughout the game's history. These cards maintain their original artwork and set symbols but feature a small planeswalker symbol in the bottom-left corner to denote their inclusion in the curated list. This initiative was designed to provide players with access to older, out-of-print cards while maintaining the historical integrity of the original card's design and mechanical purpose.
