History

Gaea's Liege debuted as a creature type in Limited Edition Alpha on the eponymous card Gaea's Liege. It was physically reprinted with the type in subsequent core sets up through Fourth Edition. The type was later dropped in the Grand Creature Type Update, and it was given errata to be an Avatar. The original card was eventually reprinted with its new type line with the release of Time Spiral as a Timeshifted card as well as in the 30th Anniversary Edition. It was later released as a promotional card for the Wizards Play Network in Q4 of 2024 with new art.
