Where it came from
Deputy of Acquittals was originally printed in the 2013 set Dragon's Maze, designed for the Ravnica block where it represented the Azorius Senate’s legalistic approach to conflict. The card utilizes the 'flash' mechanic and a bounce effect to embody the bureaucratic nature of the guild, allowing players to save their own creatures from removal spells or reuse beneficial enter-the-battlefield abilities. Its inclusion in Modern Masters 2017 served as a functional reprint aimed at providing players with a versatile utility creature for various competitive formats.
The artwork for this specific printing was illustrated by Johannes Voss, whose style is noted for a clean, ethereal approach to magical phenomena. In this depiction, the Deputy is shown projecting a shimmering, protective barrier—a visual metaphor for the 'acquittal' or protection of an allied creature. Within the Modern Masters 2017 set, the card was positioned as an uncommon draft piece, valued for its tactical flexibility and the way it showcased the refined aesthetic and mechanical depth that the Masters series sought to archive for a wider audience.
