Provenance

Where it came from

The Swamp card from the Theros Beyond Death set, identified as collector number 252, was released by Wizards of the Coast in January 2020. It serves as part of the basic land cycle for the expansion, which centers on the mythology of the plane of Theros and a thematic return to the underworld. The design continues the set's focus on Greek-inspired iconography, utilizing a distinct color palette and art direction intended to evoke the haunting, somber atmosphere of the realm of the dead.

The artwork for this specific land was executed by Jason A. Engle, a long-time illustrator for the Magic: The Gathering franchise. Engle's work on this piece was crafted to align with the set's 'Nyx-touched' aesthetic, emphasizing the ethereal and nocturnal elements of the Theros underworld. Within the broader context of the game, this card is primarily valued by players and collectors for its cohesive visual integration into the Theros Beyond Death aesthetic, standing as a representative example of modern, flavor-forward basic land design.
