Where it came from
Wax // Wane was released in 2000 as part of the Invasion expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused on the Phyrexian invasion of the plane of Dominaria, utilizing a multicolor theme that encouraged players to combine different mana colors. This card, a split card, was one of the first of its kind, designed to offer players two distinct tactical choices in a single deck slot.
The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, who illustrated many iconic cards during this era. His design for Wax // Wane aimed to visually distinguish the two effects—a creature-buffing spell and a versatile enchantment removal spell—within a cohesive aesthetic that complemented the invasion-themed block. Upon its release, the card was well-received for its utility and flexibility, quickly becoming a staple in competitive play for decks running both green and white mana.
