Provenance

Where it came from

The Griffin Guide was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed to evoke nostalgia by referencing characters, mechanics, and creatures from the game's earliest history, serving as a celebration of its first decade. The card itself draws upon the long-established lore of Griffins within the game, categorizing them and paying homage to their traditional role as white-aligned flying creatures.

The illustration was created by artist Heather Hudson, a prolific contributor to the game whose work is known for a blend of classic fantasy aesthetics and expressive detail. In designing the Griffin Guide, the artistic direction aimed to capture the essence of a scholarly, instructional text, reflecting the card's function as an enchantment that enhances a creature's presence on the battlefield. Upon its release, it was noted by players for its utility in limited formats and its contribution to the tribal synergy themes prominent throughout the Time Spiral block.
