Provenance

Where it came from

Warden of the First Tree was released in 2015 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set Fate Reforged. This set explored the past of the Tarkir plane, depicting a world before the timeline splintered. As a mythic rare card, it was designed to represent the growth of a sapling into a powerful entity, mirroring the set's themes of evolution and historical transformation through its unique level-up mechanic.

The card was illustrated by Ryan Alexander Lee, who focused on the organic development of the tree-folk character. His design emphasized the transition from a humble sprout to a formidable, armored warden. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its versatility, offering a mana-efficient threat that remained relevant throughout the different stages of a game.
