Provenance

Where it came from

Shatter was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It served as a functional reprint of earlier cards, designed to provide players with a reliable, low-cost artifact removal spell within the set’s mechanics. As a common card, it was intended to maintain balance in limited play environments, offering a necessary strategic counter to the artifacts featured throughout the Tempest block.

The card features artwork by Mike Dringenberg, a well-known illustrator celebrated for his work on The Sandman series. Dringenberg’s illustration captures the destructive essence of the spell, depicting a crystalline object fracturing under magical force. His distinct, moody aesthetic helped ground the card within the darker, high-fantasy tone that defined the visual identity of the game during the mid-nineties.
