Urza's Power Plant

Urza's Power Plant first appeared in the 1994 Antiquities expansion, designed as part of the iconic Urza land cycle alongside the Mine and Tower. These cards were created to reward players for assembling all three unique locations, reflecting the deep mechanical lore of the artificer Urza and his efforts to power his grand machinery. The cards quickly became a cornerstone of competitive Magic: The Gathering, facilitating strategies that generate massive amounts of mana early in the game.

The Double Masters iteration, featuring collector number 371, showcases a distinct aesthetic update typical of the series' focus on high-quality reprints. Illustrators for the Power Plant over the years have leaned into the industrial, ancient-tech aesthetic established by the original Antiquities art. By the time of the Double Masters release, the card had moved beyond its initial experimental context to become a definitive staple of the modern format, prized by players for its enduring functionality and thematic connection to the game's broader history.
