Subterranean Hangar

Subterranean Hangar was released in 1999 as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set on the plane of Mercadia, the expansion introduced themes of commerce and mercantilism, reflecting the setting's bustling, subterranean markets and corporate-like guilds. This land card specifically represents the industrial infrastructure of the plane's lower levels, serving as a storage location for counters that provide colorless mana.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Jeff Miracola. In line with the aesthetic of Mercadian Masques, which departed from the high-fantasy tropes of previous sets in favor of a more industrial and eclectic visual language, the art emphasizes the complex, layered architecture of the hangar. While the card is often cited by players for its niche utility in specific deck builds, it remains a distinct example of the era's focus on non-traditional landscape design in the game's art history.
