What it does
Early sailors thought they were tricks of the mind or perhaps manatees. As more and more ships were classified as lost to "manatee attacks," the truth began to dawn.

Where it came from
Coral Merfolk was originally printed in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield as a foundational blue creature card. It was intended to function as a simple, efficient offensive unit during the early years of the game, representing the classic archetype of an aquatic humanoid fighter. Its inclusion in the Magic 2014 core set served as a callback to these early design roots, maintaining the card's traditional mechanical identity within the game's evolving meta.
The Magic 2014 iteration features artwork by rk post, a long-time contributor to the game known for his distinctive, often atmospheric illustrative style. His depiction of the Merfolk emphasizes the creature's bioluminescent features and underwater habitat, aiming to modernize the visual aesthetic of the classic card while adhering to the established lore of the Merfolk civilization. The card was received by the community as a nostalgic inclusion, serving as a functional staple for limited-format play throughout its tenure in the set.
