Provenance

Where it came from

Sweltering Suns was released in 2017 as part of the Amonkhet expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set draws heavy thematic inspiration from Ancient Egyptian mythology, depicting a world governed by the trials of the god-pharaoh Nicol Bolas. Mechanically, the card serves as a board-clearing sorcery that deals three damage to all creatures, fitting the flavor of a harsh, sun-drenched desert landscape where survival is physically grueling.

The artwork was commissioned from Raymond Swanland, an illustrator known for his dynamic, high-energy style characterized by jagged lines and intense lighting. Swanland's depiction focuses on the unforgiving radiance of Amonkhet's three suns, utilizing aggressive brushwork to convey the oppressive heat and searing light described by the card's effect. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical versatility, particularly its ability to be cycled for a new card when its damage effect is not immediately required.
