Provenance

Where it came from

The Slipstream Serpent was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set is widely recognized for its deep engagement with the game's history, featuring mechanics and creature types that paid homage to cards from the mid-1990s. The Serpent specifically highlights the 'suspend' mechanic, a thematic reflection of the set’s focus on time-warped landscapes and ancient entities returning to the modern era of the game.

The artwork was illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, a prolific contributor to the game known for his atmospheric and dynamic digital paintings. Briclot designed the creature to emphasize its fluid, serpentine nature, choosing a color palette that mirrors the deep, ethereal blues of the game’s water-based magic. Upon its release, the card was noted for its role in limited play environments, where its ability to cheat mana costs through suspension provided players with a tactical advantage.
