Card face

What it does

Trample

I didn't think Mammoths could ever hold a candle to a well-trained battle horse. Then one day I turned my back on a drunken soldier. His blow never landed; Mi'cha flung the brute over ten meters.

Provenance

Where it came from

The War Mammoth was released as part of the 1993 Collectors' Edition, a limited-run boxed set designed as a non-tournament legal reprint of the original Magic: The Gathering Alpha and Beta sets. Created by Wizards of the Coast to address the immense player demand for cards that were becoming prohibitively scarce and expensive, this edition utilized a distinct gold-bordered card back to ensure these copies could not be conflated with the original tournament-legal printings.

The card features artwork by Jeff A. Menges, one of the original illustrators for the game's debut. Menges opted for a robust, earthy aesthetic that emphasized the sheer physical scale of the beast, consistent with the high-fantasy tone of the game's early years. While considered a common card in terms of its mechanical utility and frequency, the Collectors' Edition version has since become a prized curiosity among archivists for its specific role in the early history and stabilization of the game's secondary market.
