Where it came from
Glissa, the Traitor was originally introduced in the 2010 set Scars of Mirrodin, representing the transformed, Phyrexianized version of the legendary elven champion Glissa Sunseeker. This specific printing debuted in the 2011 From the Vault: Lore collection, a premium boxed set designed to curate cards significant to the narrative arc of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. The reprint serves as a touchstone for the central conflict between the inhabitants of Mirrodin and the encroaching Phyrexian corruption.
The card’s illustration was crafted by Eric Deschamps, who captured the character's descent into darkness by emphasizing her metallic, biomechanical aesthetic. The art was intended to showcase the tragic inversion of her former heroic status, a theme that resonated deeply with players invested in the game's evolving lore. Upon its release in the compilation, it was lauded by collectors for its high-quality foiling process and its inclusion as a centerpiece for players interested in the game's deeper history.
