Provenance

Where it came from

Sindbad was released in 1993 as part of Arabian Nights, the first expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Created by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore themes of Middle Eastern mythology and folklore. The cards were produced during a period of rapid growth for the game, as the developers sought to expand the initial base set with thematic, limited-run mechanics and narratives.

The card features artwork by illustrator Christopher Rush, a foundational figure in the game's visual identity. Rush's design aimed to capture the essence of the legendary sailor through a distinctive, painterly style that characterized early Magic cards. Upon release, the set was well-received for its unique flavor and contribution to the game’s growing strategic depth, though it remains a niche piece of history within the broader evolution of the trading card medium.
