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 due to its status as a high-cost, high-impact creature. For the 30th Anniversary History Promos, Wizards of the Coast curated a selection of cards that defined the game's evolution, reissuing them with modern frames and updated artwork to honor the legacy of the original title.

The 30th Anniversary version of this card features artwork by Satoru Senda, who provided a contemporary interpretation of the classic red dragon. Senda's design emphasizes the creature's elemental nature and imposing scale, shifting away from the retro aesthetic of the original Quinton Hoover illustration to align with the polished, cinematic visual identity of modern Magic releases.
