Card face

What it does

Unpredictable as the sea itself, Water Elementals shift without warning from tranquility to tempest. Capricious and fickle, they flow restlessly from one shape to another, expressing their moods with their physical forms.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Water Elemental was released in 2022 as part of the 30th Anniversary Edition, a limited-run commemorative set produced by Wizards of the Coast to celebrate three decades of Magic: The Gathering. This set features non-tournament legal reprints of cards from the original Alpha and Beta core sets, utilizing modern card frames and backs to distinguish them from their vintage counterparts while maintaining the classic feel of the game's earliest iterations.

The artwork for this card was originally rendered by Jeff A. Menges for the game's 1993 debut, capturing the elemental's ethereal, fluid essence in a style characteristic of the early fantasy art period. Menges was one of the foundational artists for the game, and his design sought to evoke the raw, unpredictable power of nature. The 30th Anniversary Edition preserves this original vision, allowing collectors to experience the aesthetic history of the game through a high-quality, retrospective lens.
