Where it came from
Hoodwink was released in 1999 as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set on the plane of Mercadia, a world defined by its complex mercantile culture and urban sprawl, the card depicts a moment of petty thievery within this setting. The set was designed to explore themes of social status and economic manipulation, moving away from the high fantasy tropes of previous expansions to focus on a more grounded, bustling environment.
The artwork was illustrated by Daren Bader, who contributed several pieces to this era of the game. Bader’s design captures the agile, opportunistic nature of the goblins inhabiting Mercadia, emphasizing a sense of motion and quick-witted trickery. While the card is a functional common in the game's ecosystem, it is remembered by players for its thematic consistency with the set’s focus on the urban underworld, and it remains a staple for those curating historical collections from the late nineties.
