Provenance

Where it came from

Withering Gaze was released in 1997 as part of the Portal base set, a product line designed by Wizards of the Coast specifically to introduce new players to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. By simplifying the rules text and removing complexities like stack interactions and instant-speed spells during an opponent's turn, the set sought to lower the barrier to entry for a casual audience.

The card features artwork by Scott M. Fischer, a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic and evocative style within the fantasy genre. Fischer's approach to the piece emphasizes the unsettling nature of the spell, utilizing stark lighting and shadow to convey the mechanical effect of revealing and discarding cards from an opponent's hand.
