Wind-Scarred Crag

Wind-Scarred Crag was released in 2020 as part of the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This card is categorized as a common dual land, designed to enter the battlefield tapped while providing a minor utility effect—gaining one life—to help players stabilize their board state in the early turns of a game. Its inclusion in the set followed the game's long-standing tradition of providing accessible mana-fixing options for players participating in limited draft formats or budget-conscious constructed decks.

The artwork for this specific printing was illustrated by Titus Lunter. Lunter’s design emphasizes the rugged, mountainous aesthetic of the Ikoria plane, a world defined by its colossal, mutated monsters and harsh terrain. The visual style reflects the expansion's focus on wilderness and survival, depicting a desolate, jagged landscape that fits the card's mechanical identity as a rugged source of red and white mana. It was received as a functional staple for the set's limited environment rather than a high-value collector's piece.
