Hanna, Ship's Navigator

Hanna, Ship's Navigator was originally released in the 2000 Invasion expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed as a key character within the Weatherlight Saga. This 2014 version was produced as a Judge Gift card, a series of promotional reprints distributed exclusively to Level 3 or higher judges within the DCI program as a gesture of appreciation for their role in officiating competitive events. The inclusion of this card in the program provided a rare, foil-treated version of a popular Commander staple to those who facilitate the tournament infrastructure of the game.

The artwork for this specific edition was created by Terese Nielsen, a long-time contributor to the game whose distinct, ethereal style defined much of the visual identity of Magic during the early 2000s. Nielsen’s illustration focuses on Hanna’s role as the navigator of the skyship Weatherlight, emphasizing her intellectual focus and connection to the ship's mechanisms. The card was well-received by the player base, particularly within the growing Commander format, as it provided a highly sought-after, aesthetic upgrade to a functionally iconic legendary creature.
