Provenance

Where it came from

The Shivan Dragon was originally released in the 1993 Alpha set as a flagship rare card, quickly becoming one of Magic: The Gathering's most iconic symbols of power. As a red creature that could be pumped for extra damage, it defined the early gameplay experience and set the standard for high-cost, high-impact dragons that would follow in subsequent decades.

The 30th Anniversary History Promo version was released in 2023 to commemorate the game's milestone, featuring the original 1993 artwork by Melissa Benson. This specific printing utilizes a retro frame design intended to evoke nostalgia for the game's origins, serving as a direct tribute to the cultural impact of the original card within the collector community.
