Provenance

Where it came from

The Simulacrum card appeared in the International Collectors' Edition (ICE), a 1996 release designed to bring the Magic: The Gathering experience to international markets. Produced as a non-tournament-legal product, these cards were intended for players to learn the game in languages other than English, featuring a distinct gold-bordered back that differentiates them from standard playing sets.

The card itself features iconic early fantasy artwork originally attributed to artist Dan Frazier. The design reflects the high-fantasy aesthetic prevalent in the game's inception, utilizing the classic layout established in the Alpha and Beta sets to depict the thematic essence of a magical construct. While the ICE printing was received primarily as a gateway for international growth, it has since become a point of interest for collectors seeking specific variants of early-game cards.
