Provenance

Where it came from

Castle was released in 1993 as part of Limited Edition Alpha, the inaugural set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game was conceived to provide a quick, portable experience for hobbyists between longer sessions of tabletop games. The card is a land that produces white mana, functioning as a foundational element for decks utilizing white-aligned spells.

The artwork for the Alpha version of Castle was illustrated by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the game's original art director. Myrfors utilized a distinct, painterly style that defined the aesthetic of the early game, opting for high-fantasy architectural motifs that helped ground players in the game's diverse world-building. Upon release, the card was received as a functional utility piece, appreciated for its simplicity and the atmospheric tone set by the early, varied illustrative styles of the Alpha collection.
