Where it came from
The Air Elemental from the Welcome Deck 2017 serves as a foundational piece of Magic: The Gathering history, representing the game's long-standing tradition of introducing new players to its mechanics. Released by Wizards of the Coast to facilitate accessibility, these decks were designed to provide a balanced, simplified experience that showcased the core identity of the five colors of mana. This specific printing features art by Nils Hamm, who brought a ethereal, flowing aesthetic to the creature, emphasizing its role as a quintessential flying threat within the blue color identity.
First introduced in the Alpha set, the Air Elemental has been a perennial staple of starter products due to its straightforward utility and clear power level. The 2017 edition specifically was curated to help novices understand combat interactions and the evasion mechanic of flying. The reception of this card within the community is one of steady appreciation; while not a high-value collector piece, it is widely recognized by players for its iconic role as a teaching tool that has guided thousands of newcomers through their first games.
