Provenance

Where it came from

The Shivan Dragon is one of the original rare cards from the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering, released in 1993. Created by Richard Garfield, the card was designed to be a quintessential high-cost, high-reward creature, embodying the game's power fantasy with its ability to grow stronger using mana. Its original artwork was famously illustrated by Melby Zeigler, establishing the iconic red dragon imagery that has persisted through decades of reprints.

This specific version originates from the 2022 Game Night: Free-for-All boxed set. This product was designed by Wizards of the Coast as an entry-level, self-contained multiplayer experience, intended to introduce new players to the social dynamics of Commander and other casual formats. Featuring updated card frames and streamlined art treatments, these editions prioritize accessibility while maintaining the nostalgic appeal of classic creatures like the Shivan Dragon for a new generation of players.
