Provenance

Where it came from

Master of Arms was originally released in the 2002 Magic: The Gathering set Onslaught. Designed as a white creature card, it centers on the theme of tribal synergy, specifically favoring the Soldier creature type. The card reflects the set's broader focus on combat mechanics and the tactical advantages of maintaining a disciplined army on the battlefield.

The illustration was created by artist Christopher Rush, a legendary figure in early Magic history known for his distinct, expressive style. In this piece, he aimed to capture the essence of a martial instructor or commander, emphasizing the card's mechanical ability to grant first strike to fellow soldiers. Upon its release, the card was well-regarded among casual players building tribal decks for its focused utility and thematic consistency within the Onslaught environment.
