Provenance

Where it came from

The Shivan Dragon made its debut in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, quickly becoming an iconic representative of the game's creature-based strategy. By 2017, Wizards of the Coast released the Welcome Deck series, a product designed specifically to introduce new players to the game mechanics and the long-standing lore of the multiverse. This version of the card served as a thematic cornerstone, offering beginners a powerful, high-mana-cost finisher that highlights the red color identity's penchant for fire-breathing abilities.

This particular printing features artwork by Donato Giancola, a renowned fantasy illustrator known for his realistic and atmospheric approach to the genre. Giancola's rendition of the dragon leans into classic high-fantasy aesthetics, emphasizing the creature's formidable scale and searing presence. As a rare card included in a starter product, the 2017 version remains a meaningful touchstone for the game's history, bridging the gap between its early nineties roots and its modern accessibility for newer enthusiasts.
