Where it came from
Exemplar of Strength was released in 2017 as part of the Amonkhet set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology, centering on a desert plane ruled by the dragon planeswalker Nicol Bolas. Mechanically, the card was designed to highlight the set's focus on creature-based combat and the 'exert' keyword, which allowed creatures to perform more powerful actions in exchange for skipping their next untap phase.
The card features artwork by illustrator Sara Winters, who focused on the imposing, muscular physique of the character to emphasize its role as an elite warrior of the trials. The aesthetic leans into the bold, gilded, and sun-drenched visual language established for the plane of Amonkhet. Upon its release, it was well-regarded by players for its efficiency in limited formats, serving as a solid mid-game threat that could mitigate its own drawbacks through its internal counters.
