Provenance

Where it came from

Sheltered Thicket was released in 2017 as part of the Amonkhet expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a land card featuring the 'cycling' mechanic, it was designed to provide mana flexibility while offering utility during the late game. The card belongs to a cycle of lands that enter the battlefield tapped, reflecting the set's Egyptian-inspired aesthetic and the harsh, unforgiving nature of the desert plane of Amonkhet.

The artwork was created by illustrator Christine Choi, who captured the tranquil yet isolated mood of the location within the game's lore. The design sought to balance thematic consistency with the strategic requirements of competitive play, where lands that allow players to draw additional cards are highly valued for maintaining deck consistency. It was received as a staple utility card in various formats, appreciated for its efficiency in multicolored deck strategies.
