Provenance

Where it came from

The Shivan Dragon originally appeared in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, quickly becoming an iconic symbol of the game. Its inclusion in the 2004 Beatdown Box Set served to celebrate this legacy, offering players a pre-constructed deck experience designed for aggressive, head-to-head play. The card was chosen for this collection to highlight the classic power-scaling mechanics that defined the game’s early years.

This specific printing features the classic artwork by Melissa A. Benson, whose rendition of the dragon became synonymous with the creature type in the trading card world. Her design favored a gritty, traditional fantasy aesthetic that leaned into the sheer scale and menace of the beast. While modern iterations of the card have experimented with various styles, Benson’s version remains the definitive touchstone for long-time players and collectors.
