Provenance

Where it came from

Guardians of Koilos was released in 2022 as part of the Dominaria United set for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to function within the set's broader mechanical theme of artifact synergy, specifically focusing on the returning 'historic' keyword. Its flavor is tied to the lore of the Koilos caves, a site of deep historical significance in the setting of Dominaria where ancient Thran artifacts were unearthed.

The card's artwork was illustrated by Games Workshop veteran artist Greg Staples. Staples aimed to capture the imposing, mechanical nature of the guardians, utilizing a heavy, weathered aesthetic that reflects the long-abandoned state of the site. Upon release, it was received as a functional 'uncommon' rarity card, valued primarily by players building limited decks around artifact reclamation mechanics.
