Where it came from
Battle Squadron was released in 1999 as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was thematic, drawing heavily on a setting inspired by trade, political intrigue, and a world of sky-ships, marking a departure from the high-fantasy aesthetic that had dominated the game's previous cycles.
The card features artwork by Mike Raabe, who employed a stylized, bold approach that complemented the set's unique visual identity. The card was designed as a creature with a scaling power mechanism based on the number of creatures under the player's control, a popular mechanic in limited play environments during the era, and it remains a recognizable relic of the late-nineties design philosophy.
