Provenance

Where it came from

The 30th Anniversary Edition Swamp, collector number 289, was released by Wizards of the Coast in 2022 to commemorate three decades of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed as a non-tournament legal, celebratory reissue of the original 1993 Limited Edition Beta cards, intended to provide collectors with a high-quality physical representation of the game's earliest aesthetic and design roots.

The art features the iconic, minimalist dark-toned landscape that defined the visual identity of the Swamp in the earliest days of the game. Originally illustrated by Christopher Rush for the Alpha and Beta sets, these cards were intended to evoke the haunting, desolate atmosphere essential to the black mana color identity. In the context of the 30th Anniversary Edition, the design retains the original layout and frame styling, serving as a homage to the formative influence of Rush's work on fantasy trading card illustration.
