Lore

Why it matters

As a rare creature from the *Portal Three Kingdoms* set, this card depicts the legendary warrior Zhao Zilong, celebrated in Chinese literature for his unwavering bravery during the Battle of Changban. Collectors prize this card both for its historical inspiration and its limited availability, as the set was released with a smaller print run specifically to introduce the *Magic: The Gathering* mechanics to new markets.

Provenance

Where it came from

Zhao Zilong, Tiger General was released in 1999 as part of Portal Three Kingdoms, a set designed to introduce Magic: The Gathering to the Asian market by adapting the classic Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The set was engineered with simplified rules to lower the barrier for new players, resulting in a unique mechanical aesthetic that remains distinct from the standard core sets of that era.

The card features artwork by Quan Xuejun, who contributed a series of illustrations capturing the legendary figures of the Han Dynasty. The design emphasizes Zhao Zilong's historical reputation for individual prowess on the battlefield, reflecting his status as one of the Five Tiger Generals. While the Portal Three Kingdoms set initially saw limited distribution in Western markets, its cards have since gained significant interest among collectors for their scarcity and evocative connection to Chinese literary history.
