Golem

The Golem card, originally appearing in the 1994 Magic: The Gathering expansion Antiquities, was designed to represent the folklore-inspired constructs central to the set's mechanical theme. As a colorless artifact creature, it reflects the industrial and magical landscape of the plane of Dominaria, where ancient artificers engaged in the creation of sentient laborers. The card was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, whose distinct, painterly style helped define the early aesthetic of the game during its formative years.

This specific version, identified by the collector number TC21-27, is part of The List, a curated selection of reprints integrated into modern Magic: The Gathering booster packs. The List was introduced by Wizards of the Coast to provide players with access to older, iconic cards while maintaining a connection to the game's expansive history. Its inclusion serves as a tribute to the legacy of the Antiquities set, preserving the original design work while allowing contemporary players to utilize these classic artifacts in current gameplay formats.
