Provenance

Where it came from

Meekstone was first introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Limited Edition Alpha set in 1993. As an artifact designed to neutralize large creatures by preventing them from untapping, it quickly became a staple of early control decks. Its inclusion in the Fifth Edition core set, released in 1997, marked a period where the game's mechanics were being refined and standardized for a growing player base, keeping the card relevant as a foundational piece of strategic design.

The original illustration for the card was created by artist Quinton Hoover. Known for his distinctive, intricate, and often ethereal style, Hoover designed the card's visual to evoke a sense of ancient, binding magic. The imagery of a stone exerting a subtle, restrictive force on the battlefield has remained iconic, and the card is widely regarded by enthusiasts as a classic example of the game's early thematic and mechanical identity.
