Windbrisk Heights

Windbrisk Heights was originally introduced in the 2008 Magic: The Gathering set Morningtide. As a land card with the hideaway mechanic, it was designed to reward players for aggressively attacking with multiple creatures, thematic to the kithkin race and their swarming battle tactics. The card quickly became a staple in tournament play, particularly in formats like Modern, due to its ability to cast powerful spells for free once its conditions are met.

This specific iteration appeared in the 2014 Modern Event Deck, a preconstructed product intended to provide players with a competitive entry point into the Modern format. The art, illustrated by Warren Mahy, captures the ethereal and towering architecture of the Heights. While the card's function remained consistent with its debut, its inclusion in this deck served to highlight the white-black tokens archetype, which was a dominant strategy at the time of the deck's release.
