Where it came from
Bandage was released in 1998 as the first card in the Stronghold expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a common white card, it was designed to fit within the set's mechanics, which focused on combat-oriented abilities and life-gain effects. The card was created during a period when Wizards of the Coast was expanding the game's depth by introducing new utility spells that rewarded players for managing their creatures during combat.
The artwork for the card was provided by Melissa Benson, a prolific illustrator whose work defined much of the early aesthetic of the game. Her design utilizes a grounded, representational style common to the era, focusing on the simple, functional depiction of the card's namesake object to clearly communicate its mechanical purpose. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed as a standard element of the Stronghold set, serving as a utilitarian piece in many casual deck-building environments.
