Provenance

Where it came from

The War Barge originated as a rare card in the 1994 Homelands expansion, designed by Wizards of the Coast to lean into the set's thematic focus on naval and maritime warfare. The original intent was to provide utility in sea-based combat scenarios, though the card was largely considered mechanically underwhelming upon release due to its narrow situational application and high cost relative to its impact on the game state.

The Time Spiral Timeshifted version, numbered 116, was released in 2006 as a direct reprint that maintained the original art by Tom Wänerstrand. This set was unique for its inclusion of 'timeshifted' cards, which featured the original 1990s card frame aesthetic despite being printed on modern card stock. Wänerstrand’s illustration captures a rugged, utilitarian naval vessel, consistent with the gritty aesthetic favored in early Magic: The Gathering art direction.
