Where it came from
The Cockatrice card was released in 1993 as part of the Collectors' Edition, a non-tournament-legal boxed set intended to provide players with access to cards from the original Alpha and Beta printings. These cards are easily distinguished from their original counterparts by their gold-bordered backs and the 'Collectors' Edition' text printed on the reverse, serving as a high-quality reproduction intended for casual play rather than competitive rarity.
The artwork for the Cockatrice was originally commissioned from artist Jesper Myrfors for the game’s debut. Myrfors, who served as the game's first art director, rendered the mythological beast in a style consistent with the dark, gritty aesthetic of the early nineties fantasy genre. The design focused on the creature's petrifying gaze and serpentine form, solidifying its place as a classic piece of early game imagery that captured the high-stakes, monstrous tone of the original release.
