Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1998 as part of the Unglued set, Scissors Lizard was designed as a parody card for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Created by Wizards of the Coast, the set was the first official 'un-set,' an experimental project intended to explore humor, unconventional mechanics, and silver-bordered cards that were not legal for sanctioned tournament play.

The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, a legendary illustrator whose work defined the early aesthetic of the game. The design plays on the classic rock-paper-scissors dynamic, utilizing a literal interpretation of the game within the card's rules text to create a playful, interactive experience for players during casual matches.
