Provenance

Where it came from

Squandered Resources was released in 1996 as part of the Visions expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore themes of environmental conflict and sacrifice within the game's lore, reflecting a period where the development team sought to push the mechanical boundaries of mana production and resource management.

The card features artwork by Romas Kukalis, a prominent fantasy illustrator known for his atmospheric and moody compositions. Kukalis sought to capture the feeling of desolation and desperation suggested by the card's name, depicting a barren landscape that mirrors the card's mechanic of discarding lands to gain immediate power. Upon its release, the card was received as a high-skill ceiling enchantment that rewarded players for calculating long-term losses against short-term strategic advantages.
