Where it came from
Training Grounds was originally printed in the 2010 set Rise of the Eldrazi and was later reprinted as card number 109 in the 2023 set March of the Machine: The Aftermath. This set was designed as a unique, small-scale epilogue to the expansive Phyrexian invasion storyline, focusing on the immediate narrative consequences for various planes and legendary characters. The enchantment serves as a mechanics-focused card that reduces the cost of activated abilities of creatures, a design intended to support strategies centered on resource efficiency and synergy.
The artwork for this specific iteration was provided by illustrator Johannes Voss, who utilized the set's thematic framing to depict a serene, elevated space of growth amidst the broader chaos of the Multiverse's recovery. The card is frequently sought after by players of the Commander format, where its ability to lower activation costs creates powerful, repeatable effects that are central to engine-building decks. Its release in the Aftermath set was met with interest due to its status as a staple utility card receiving a fresh visual identity.
