Card face

What it does

This creature can't be the target of blue or black spells.

The strider's long, loping gait is an adaptation that allows it to move quickly in deep snow.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Karplusan Strider, originally appearing in the Scourge set of 2003, represents the specialized utility creature design common in early Magic: The Gathering history. This specific version was reprinted in Modern Masters 2015, a curated set designed to provide players with access to staple cards from the game's recent history while refreshing the draft environment for established fans.

The card features artwork by the illustrator Daren Bader, whose work has been a fixture in the Magic aesthetic for decades. The design emphasizes a rugged, elemental aesthetic typical of the Karplusan region, focusing on defensive capabilities against specific color alignments. Upon its initial release and subsequent inclusion in the Modern Masters block, it was primarily regarded by the community as a functional niche piece intended for specific sideboarding strategies rather than a centerpiece of competitive play.
