"We could see the horizon blacken with the great beasts, but it was too late. The icefield offered no immediate safety, but luckily most of us reached a crevasse in which we could take cover."— Disa the Restless, journal entry

Where it came from
Stampede was released in 1997 as part of the Ice Age expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, this set was themed around a frigid, prehistoric setting, and Stampede was designed to capture the flavor of a massive, overwhelming migration of creatures across the frozen landscape. Mechanically, the card functions as a green sorcery that grants all creatures a bonus to power and toughness while providing trample, effectively simulating the unstoppable momentum of a herd in motion.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Melissa A. Benson, whose work during the game's early years helped define the gritty, painterly aesthetic of the period. Benson's composition focuses on the chaotic energy of the encroaching beasts, utilizing a dynamic perspective that emphasizes the scale of the stampede. Upon its release, the card was received as a niche utility spell, valued primarily in casual play formats for its ability to close out games during board stalls, reflecting the game's focus on creature-based combat strategies common in the late nineties.
