Provenance

Where it came from

Trade Routes was originally printed in the Stronghold expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 1998, later being reprinted as part of the Ninth Edition core set in 2005. The card was designed as a blue enchantment that allows players to return lands they control to their hand in exchange for drawing a card, a mechanic that rewards players for managing their resources and manipulating their board state during the game.

The artwork for the Ninth Edition version was provided by artist Dan Dos Santos, who opted for a composition emphasizing the ethereal and navigational aspects of the card's function. His interpretation focuses on the mystical flow of commerce and travel across a fantasy map, aligning with the core set's broader goal of providing accessible yet strategically deep gameplay mechanics for both new and veteran players.
