Provenance

Where it came from

This Swamp card was released as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, which debuted in 2010. The set marked a return to the artificial plane of Mirrodin, focusing on the conflict between the native inhabitants and the invading Phyrexian forces. This particular card was intended to reflect the metallic, corrupted landscape of the plane as it was slowly consumed by Phyrexian oil.

The artwork for this piece was created by Richard Whitters, a veteran illustrator for Wizards of the Coast. His design captures the bleak, industrial aesthetic characteristic of the set, emphasizing the fusion of organic matter and cold, jagged metal. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs and theme decks, becoming a staple of the Mirrodin environment through its evocative, somber depiction of a scarred, mechanical wasteland.
