Where it came from
The Anaba Bodyguard was originally introduced to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game in the Homelands expansion in 1995. As part of the Minotaur creature type, the card reflects the lore of the Anaba tribe from the plane of Dominaria, characterized by their rugged physical strength and tribal loyalty. The tenth edition printing, released in 2007, served as a core set reprint designed to provide new players with accessible creature cards, maintaining the classic fantasy aesthetic that defined early Magic artwork.
The art for this iteration was illustrated by Greg Staples, a long-time contributor to the game who is known for his atmospheric and gritty painterly style. Staples leaned into the visceral nature of the minotaur, focusing on the character's muscular form and traditional weaponry to convey a sense of defensive utility. While the card is often viewed as a functional piece for limited play environments rather than a centerpiece for competitive deck construction, it remains a recognized example of the game’s extensive bestiary.
