Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1999, Portal Three Kingdoms was designed as an introductory expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically tailored for the Asian market. The set is uniquely based on the 14th-century Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, blending traditional card mechanics with the lore and figures of that era. This Swamp card serves as a basic land, providing the foundational resources required for gameplay.

The artwork for this card was created by Wang Chuxiong, a Chinese artist commissioned to bring an authentic aesthetic to the set. The design reflects a departure from the high-fantasy Western tropes typical of the game at the time, favoring a more evocative, painterly style that captures the somber atmosphere of the marshes described in historical depictions. Upon its release, the set was noted for its distinct departure from standard visual conventions and has since become a sought-after piece for collectors of thematic and regional variants.
