Provenance

Where it came from

The Lord of Atlantis was originally introduced in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield to anchor the Merfolk creature type. This specific 30th Anniversary Edition version, released in 2022, serves as a commemorative reprint that replicates the iconic visual identity of the original run while marking three decades of the game's cultural influence.

The artwork for this card was created by Melissa A. Benson, whose distinctive illustrative style helped define the aesthetic of early Magic sets. Her depiction of the Merfolk Lord emphasizes an ethereal, underwater royalty, a vision that resonated deeply with players in the early nineties and has since become one of the most recognizable pieces of card art in the history of the trading card game.
