Where it came from
Circle of Protection: Blue was first released in 1993 as part of the Limited Edition Alpha set for Magic: The Gathering. Created by Wizards of the Coast, the card was designed by Richard Garfield to be a foundational element of the game’s color-coded defensive strategy. The card reflects the early philosophy of the game, where color identity was rigidly defined and protection enchantments served as a core mechanic for controlling the pace of play against aggressive opponents.
The illustration for this card was provided by Jesper Myrfors, the original art director for the game. Myrfors utilized a distinct, minimalist style that characterized many of the early Alpha cards, focusing on symbolic imagery that evoked the mystical atmosphere of the fantasy setting. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical utility, establishing a template for the 'Circle of Protection' series that would be iterated upon in subsequent expansions throughout the game's long history.
