Item Lore

As a common creature from the 1996 Mirage set, the Burning Shield Askari showcases the intricate, early fantasy aesthetic characteristic of artist Dan Frazier. While it is not a rare card, it remains a nostalgic piece of Magic: The Gathering history that highlights the expansion's focus on regional creature types and desert-themed mechanics.
