Provenance

Where it came from

The Stream of Life card was first featured in the original Magic: The Gathering Alpha set in 1993, representing one of the game's foundational green spells. It was later included in the 1996 Collectors' Edition, a non-tournament-legal boxed set designed as a retrospective of the game's early history for collectors and enthusiasts to appreciate the initial artwork and design aesthetics.

The illustration was created by Mark Poole, a prolific artist who contributed significantly to the visual identity of early Magic: The Gathering. His depiction of Stream of Life focuses on themes of natural vitality, utilizing his characteristic fantasy art style to convey the restorative power of the spell. The Collectors' Edition print is distinguished by its square corners and gold-bordered backing, marking it as a historical artifact rather than a playable component for competitive formats.
