Provenance

Where it came from

This Swamp card was released as part of the 2006 Magic: The Gathering expansion set, Time Spiral. The set was designed as a celebration of the game's history, featuring numerous mechanics and visual callbacks to earlier eras of the card game. The narrative context for the set involved the collapse of the multiverse's temporal stability, allowing characters and landscapes from throughout Magic's timeline to reappear in the present.

The artwork for this specific Swamp was created by the illustrator Martina Pilcerova. Her design leans into the thematic focus of the set, utilizing a haunting, atmospheric style to capture a landscape caught in the midst of a temporal rift. It was well-received by players for its departure from traditional, static Swamp depictions, offering a more dynamic and ethereal aesthetic that aligned with the set's broader motif of fractured reality.
