Provenance

Where it came from

The Alaborn Cavalier first appeared in the Portal Second Age set in 1998, designed as part of an introductory product line intended to simplify Magic: The Gathering for new players by removing complex mechanics. The card was later reprinted in the 2011 Duel Decks: Knights vs. Dragons release, which pitted thematic white-aligned knight cards against red-aligned dragon cards to showcase the iconic tropes of the fantasy genre.

The card features artwork by artist Donato Giancola, known for his masterful approach to high fantasy portraiture. In the context of the Duel Decks series, the Cavalier serves as a functional, straightforward creature card, reflecting the functional aesthetic of the late 1990s design era while fitting into the structured, deck-versus-deck narrative of the 2011 release.
