Where it came from
The Anaba Bodyguard was released in 1995 as part of the Homelands expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set focused on the narrative of the plane of Ulgrotha, a realm suffering from the aftermath of ancient planeswalker conflicts. As a common creature card, the Bodyguard was designed to populate the ranks of the Minotaur tribe, reflecting the brutal and defensive nature of the creatures inhabiting the region of Anaba.
The illustration was provided by Anson Maddocks, one of the original artists for the game known for his distinct, gritty, and often organic visual style. In creating the artwork for this card, Maddocks sought to convey the imposing physical presence of a Minotaur protector, utilizing heavy shadows and bold lines characteristic of mid-nineties card design. While Homelands was initially met with mixed critical reception due to its perceived lower power level compared to preceding sets, it remains a notable chapter in the early experimental history of the game's world-building.
