Provenance

Where it came from

Deputy of Acquittals was originally introduced in the Dragon's Maze expansion in 2013 and later reprinted as part of the Modern Masters 2017 set. As a creature with flash and an enters-the-battlefield ability that returns a permanent to its owner's hand, the card was designed to provide utility and tempo advantages, particularly within Azorius-aligned control strategies.

The artwork for this printing was provided by James Ryman, who focused on a dynamic, heroic depiction of a law-enforcing knight. Ryman’s style, characterized by sharp lighting and clear, heroic silhouettes, was utilized throughout the Modern Masters series to refresh the visual identity of staple cards for a contemporary audience.
