Provenance

Where it came from

The Swamp card from the Magic 2015 core set, identified by collector number 259, is one of four distinct basic land illustrations featured in this release. Released in July 2014, the set served as a transition point for Magic: The Gathering, focusing on a balance between accessibility for newer players and mechanical depth for veterans. Basic lands like this one were designed to ground the thematic experience of the set, providing the necessary mana infrastructure for players to build decks around the set's central mechanical themes.

This particular illustration was created by artist Sam Burley, who opted for a moody, atmospheric depiction of a desolate landscape. Burley’s design emphasizes the iconic dark, boggy aesthetic associated with black mana in the game's lore. The artwork was well-received for its clean, modern composition, which fit seamlessly into the high-definition aesthetic established for card art during this era of the game’s development.
