Provenance

Where it came from

Sunlance was originally released in the 2007 Planar Chaos set, designed as part of a 'color-shifted' experiment where mechanics traditionally associated with one color of Magic: The Gathering were reimagined for another. In this instance, a direct damage spell for white, which typically relies on creature-based combat or defensive effects, was inspired by the red spell Lightning Bolt, shifting the flavor to a solar-powered projectile.

The version included in the 2014 Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Kiora, featuring the collector number 26, retains the original illustration by D. Alexander Gregory. The card highlights a minimalist, focused aesthetic, depicting a beam of holy light piercing the air. It was selected for this Duel Deck to provide Elspeth Tirel with a targeted removal option that fits the thematic identity of a knightly planeswalker fighting against the encroaching threats of the deep sea.
