Provenance

Where it came from

Walking Ballista was originally released in the Aether Revolt set for Magic: The Gathering in 2017, quickly gaining a reputation as a powerful and versatile artifact creature. The card’s ability to act as both a mana sink and a removal piece made it a staple across multiple competitive formats, eventually leading to its inclusion in the 2024 Magic: The Gathering Fallout Commander expansion.

For this specific Fallout release, the card features new thematic illustration by Evan Shipard. The artwork reimagines the mechanical construct through the lens of the Fallout franchise’s retro-futuristic aesthetic, blending the technical functionality of a ballista with the salvaged, post-apocalyptic scavenged-metal style characteristic of the video game series.
