Provenance

Where it came from

Man-o'-War was originally introduced in the 1997 Visions expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed as an efficient blue creature that provided both a body and a tempo-swinging 'bounce' effect. The card became a staple of early competitive play, valued for its ability to disrupt an opponent's board state while developing one's own, effectively setting the standard for utility creatures in the game's history.

This specific printing appears in the Masters 25 set, released in 2018 to commemorate the game's twenty-fifth anniversary. It features artwork by Jon J. Muth, who utilized a distinct, painterly style to depict the creature. His interpretation leans into the ethereal and bioluminescent nature of the cephalopod, moving away from more literal creature designs to emphasize the magical, fluid essence of the card's aquatic identity.
