Seer's Sundial

Seer's Sundial was originally released in the 2010 Worldwake expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed as an artifact that rewards players for playing lands by allowing them to draw cards. The card was later reprinted as part of the 2015 Duel Decks: Zendikar vs. Eldrazi, a product designed to showcase the thematic conflict between the plane of Zendikar and the encroaching Eldrazi titans. This specific printing features the set symbol and collector number 29, fitting into the deck designed to represent the desperate defensive measures taken by the plane's inhabitants.

The card's illustration was created by artist Franz Vohwinkel, who has contributed extensively to the game. His design utilizes the high-fantasy aesthetic characteristic of the Zendikar setting, emphasizing the celestial and mechanical nature of the sundial as a tool for divination. Upon its release, it was regarded by the player base as a niche but functional utility card, particularly valued in Commander formats where long-term card advantage is prioritized over the aggressive pace of constructed competitive play.
