Where it came from
Tears of Valakut was released in early 2016 as part of the Oath of the Gatewatch expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed as a red sorcery intended to reward players for controlling specific land types, specifically Mountains, to fuel powerful damage-dealing effects. It reflects the set's broader theme of the Zendikar plane’s elemental fury and the encroaching influence of the Eldrazi titans.
The evocative artwork for the card was created by Aleksi Briclot, a long-time contributor to the game known for his dramatic, high-fantasy style. Briclot’s illustration captures the destructive force of Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, visualizing the catastrophic release of subterranean heat as molten tears falling from the sky. It was received by players as a specialized tool for red-heavy deck archetypes, valued for its ability to bypass certain defensive mechanics.
