Where it came from
Harbinger of the Tides was originally introduced in the Magic: The Gathering set Magic Origins in 2015, serving as a tactical blue creature designed to bounce opposing creatures back to their owner's hand. Its inclusion in Jumpstart 2022 marked a strategic reprint intended to make this versatile Merfolk card accessible for players engaging with the set's randomized, pack-based format. The card features art by Aleksi Briclot, who opted for a dynamic, ethereal depiction of the creature that captures its oceanic theme and disruptive combat role.
The design of the card is celebrated for its elegance as a 'tempo' play, allowing players to swing the momentum of a game by removing a blocker at instant speed. Within the context of the Jumpstart 2022 release, the card fits into thematic decks centered around oceanic or water-based archetypes. It remains a staple in casual and competitive formats where Merfolk tribal decks are played, owing to its ability to function as both a creature and a form of removal.
