Where it came from
The Crimson Manticore was released in 1997 as part of Magic: The Gathering's Fifth Edition, which served as a comprehensive base set for the game at the time. This edition was notable for its massive card list, which aggregated reprints from previous expansions to provide a standardized, balanced experience for the growing player base of the late 1990s.
The artwork was illustrated by Susan Van Camp, a prolific contributor to the game during its early years. Her design for the Manticore leans into the traditional mythological depiction of the creature, utilizing a vivid palette to emphasize its aggressive nature. Within the game's competitive history, the card is remembered as a mid-tier red creature that exemplifies the design philosophy of the era, focusing on straightforward, combat-oriented mechanics.
