Provenance

Where it came from

Elven Riders was released in 1999 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Classic Sixth Edition base set. This set was a significant milestone for the game as it introduced the modern rules engine and updated card frames, intended to streamline gameplay and provide a unified experience for players transitioning from earlier iterations. The card itself represents the long-standing green color identity in the game, focusing on forest-dwelling creatures and thematic mechanics.

The artwork for the card was created by illustrator Nicola Leonard. Tasked with depicting the essence of elven cavalry, Leonard utilized a style consistent with the fantasy aesthetic prevalent in late 1990s trading card game design. While the card is a functional reprint of cards from earlier expansions, its inclusion in Sixth Edition helped ground the game's evolving visual language for a new generation of players.
