Provenance

Where it came from

The International Collectors' Edition (ICE) was released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 as a non-tournament legal set designed to showcase the game's original art and mechanics. It functioned as a premium boxed set intended for collectors rather than competitive play, featuring gold-bordered backs and square corners to distinguish the cards from those used in official sanctioned tournaments. The set offered players a chance to own cards that had already become difficult to acquire from the limited Beta print run.

The Wall of Ice card features iconic fantasy illustration by Richard Thomas, one of the game's earliest and most influential contributors. His aesthetic for this card emphasized a stark, chilling magical barrier, aligning with the game's early focus on high-fantasy tropes and elemental themes. Within the context of the game, the card represents the 'Wall' subtype—a classic defensive fixture intended to stall opponents, reflecting the slower, more tactical gameplay favored during the hobby's inception.
