Provenance

Where it came from

The International Collectors' Edition (ICE) was released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 as a non-tournament-legal boxed set. It was designed to provide players with access to cards from the early sets, specifically Alpha and Beta, while maintaining the exclusivity of the original prints. The cards are easily distinguished by their gold-bordered backs and square corners, which signify their status as collectors' items rather than game-legal components.

The artwork for this specific Swamp, featuring a dark, gnarled landscape, traces back to the original illustrators commissioned for the game’s first core set. By reprinting these classic illustrations, the edition aimed to preserve the foundational visual identity of Magic: The Gathering. Despite their lack of utility in competitive play, these cards have become significant markers of the game's nascent history and aesthetic evolution.
