Where it came from
Master Decoy first appeared in the Urza's Saga expansion in 1998, later being reprinted as card number 27 in the Ninth Edition core set released in 2005. As a creature card representing the tactical utility of white mana, it serves to tap opponent creatures, reflecting the strategic emphasis on battlefield control and redirection common in early Magic: The Gathering mechanics.
The artwork for the Ninth Edition printing was illustrated by Christopher Rush, one of the game's foundational artists. His design aimed to capture the fluid, deceptive nature of the decoy through high-contrast imagery and expressive linework. The card was well-received by players of the era for its consistent utility in limited formats and its contribution to the core set's accessible, balanced gameplay design.
