It was the explorers' only tether to reality.

Where it came from
Umbilicus was originally released in the 1999 Urza's Saga set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, designed by the Wizards of the Coast development team to explore complex, self-referential mechanics. The card functions as an artifact that forces players to return a permanent to their hand during their upkeep, representing a chaotic, parasitic growth mechanism that reflects the high-fantasy themes of the Phyrexian invasion storyline prevalent throughout the Urza block.
This specific printing, collector number 237, appeared in the 2023 Dominaria Remastered set. The art, created by Greg Staples, maintains the visceral and unsettling aesthetic of the original design while utilizing the updated card frames and foil treatments standard to modern supplemental sets. The inclusion of the card in this remastered collection was intended to honor the history of Dominaria as the game's primary setting, curated for both nostalgic appeal and functional gameplay in limited formats.
