Where it came from
Training Grounds was originally introduced in the Rise of the Eldrazi set in 2010, designed as an enchantment that reduces the cost of activated abilities. The version featured in March of the Machine: The Aftermath serves as a functional reprint, arriving in 2023 as part of an epilogue set intended to showcase the immediate narrative fallout following a planar-spanning war. This reprint allowed the card to re-enter the Standard-legal card pool, providing players with a vital tool for deck-building strategies centered on mana efficiency.
The artwork for this iteration was created by A. M. Sartor, who leaned into the tranquil, instructional aesthetic implied by the card's name. By shifting away from the more aggressive, combat-focused imagery common to the set, the design focuses on the cultivation of skill and discipline. It has been well-regarded by the community for both its aesthetic clarity and its continued mechanical relevance in competitive formats like Commander, where its ability to lower activation costs remains a powerful engine for combo-oriented gameplay.
