What it does
Defender, flying (This creature can't attack, and it can block creatures with flying.)
"This 'standing windstorm' can hold us off indefinitely? Ridiculous!" Saying nothing, she put a pinch of salt on the table. With a bang she clapped her hands, and the salt disappeared, blown away.

Where it came from
Wall of Air was released in 1993 as part of Limited Edition Alpha, the inaugural set of Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game was conceived as a portable, strategic card game that could be played quickly between rounds of other hobby games. This card, a blue wall creature with defender, was intended to provide early-game defensive utility for control-oriented decks, reflecting the tactical balance of the original 295-card set.
The artwork for the card was created by Sandra Everingham, whose work appeared on several cards during the game's formative years. Her illustration depicts a translucent, ethereal barrier, capturing the fantasy aesthetic of the early 1990s. As a member of the original Alpha print run, the card is highly sought after by collectors for its historical significance and the distinct, darker print quality characteristic of the set's production process.
