Provenance

Where it came from

Path of Peace was released in 1998 as part of the Portal Second Age expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed specifically to serve as an entry point for new players, utilizing simplified mechanics and more intuitive card templates compared to the standard base sets of the time. The expansion features a distinct thematic focus on the high-fantasy setting of the plane of Calim, emphasizing its lore through evocative, standalone artwork.

The card was illustrated by David A. Cherry, whose work for the set leaned into classic fantasy aesthetics intended to reflect the serene and protective nature of the sorcery's effect. Within the gameplay context of the time, the card was positioned as a common-rarity utility spell, offering players a straightforward way to remove attacking creatures while gaining life. It is regarded by collectors as a representative example of the simplified design philosophy that characterized the Portal series during the late nineties.
