Provenance

Where it came from

Warden of the First Tree was released as part of the Fate Reforged set in early 2015, appearing as a specialized promo card. The design was crafted by the Wizards of the Coast development team to serve as a versatile, low-cost creature that could scale in power throughout a game, reflecting the set's central theme of time travel and the evolution of the Tarkir plane.

The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Ryan Alexander Lee, who sought to capture the character's dual nature as a guardian of the Abzan Houses. The illustration emphasizes the arboreal essence of the character, drawing heavily on the high-fantasy aesthetic established for the Abzan faction. Upon release, the card was widely praised by competitive players for its efficiency and late-game utility in mana-intensive decks.
