Where it came from
Lord of Atlantis was originally released as a rare card in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield to anchor the Merfolk creature type. The Collectors' Edition version was produced in late 1993 as a non-tournament-legal boxed set intended for collectors and displays, featuring gold-bordered backs and squared corners to distinguish them from standard game pieces.
The artwork for this iconic card was created by Melissa Benson, whose distinctive illustrative style helped define the early aesthetic of the game. Her depiction of the Merfolk lord became a cornerstone of the Blue color identity, serving as both a powerful mechanical engine for tribal decks and a quintessential example of the high fantasy art that characterized Magic's foundational era.
