Provenance

Where it came from

The Hamlet Vanguard card was released in 2021 as part of the Innistrad: Crimson Vow set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set within the gothic horror-inspired plane of Innistrad, the card features the Vanguard depicted as a member of the Markov bloodline's retinue, reflecting the set’s central themes of high-society vampire weddings and ancestral power struggles.

The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Lie Setiawan, who utilized a dramatic, dark aesthetic consistent with the visual language of the Innistrad block. The design focuses on the imposing, armored silhouette of the Vanguard, a common creature type used in the game to provide tactical stability for aggressive deck archetypes during the set's competitive rotation.
