Provenance

Where it came from

Flickering Ward was originally introduced in the 1997 Tempest set for Magic: The Gathering. It was designed as an uncommon enchantment that provides protection from a color of the player's choice, with a unique ability to return itself to the owner's hand, offering repeatable utility and protection in aggressive or defensive decks.

The version from Mystery Booster 2 features artwork by Greg Simanson, who provided the original illustrations for the card. The design was intended to emphasize the ethereal, protective nature of the enchantment, and it has remained a staple in certain formats for its efficiency and versatile interaction with permanents.
