Provenance

Where it came from

The Angel of Mercy card was originally introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Urza's Saga expansion in 1998, later appearing in the Ninth Edition core set with the collector number 1. It was designed as a classic white creature card, representing the archetype of a protective celestial figure intended to bolster a player's life total upon entering the battlefield. The card has remained a recurring staple for its straightforward utility and ability to stabilize a player's board state during mid-game exchanges.

The illustration by Melissa A. Benson captures the ethereal and protective nature of the creature, utilizing a soft, painterly style that emphasizes the angel's wings and tranquil posture. Benson was a prolific artist for the game during its early years, known for her ability to translate fantasy concepts into iconic, highly readable imagery. Her work on this card was well-received by players for its classic aesthetic, which helped define the visual identity of white-aligned creatures within the broader game environment during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
