Where it came from
Faithful Squire was released in 2005 as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa set, the second expansion in the Kamigawa block for Magic: The Gathering. Drawing deep inspiration from Japanese folklore and Shinto mythology, the set was designed to explore a world caught in a brutal war between mortal samurai and the spirit realm. This card specifically reflects the set's focus on the 'Bushido' keyword, a mechanic that mechanically represents the martial honor and combat prowess of the samurai characters defending their lands.
The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic illustrators in the game's early history. His design work on this piece captures the solemn, ritualistic nature of the Kamigawa samurai, depicting the Squire as a humble but dedicated warrior. In the context of the game's competitive history, the card is remembered for its ability to transform into Kaiso, Memory of Loyalty, a flip-card mechanic that highlights the game's narrative-driven approach to character development during this period.
