What it does
"The merfolk of the Pearl Trident have risen from the waves since the earliest days, at times allies to humans, other times enemies. Now their power is cresting again, and who can say which way the new tide will flow."— Kalis, Onean scholar

Where it came from
Merfolk of the Pearl Trident was released in the Magic 2013 core set, which served as a foundational collection for the game during its summer 2012 cycle. As a common creature, it was designed to provide a low-cost, aggressive option for blue-aligned decks, specifically leaning into the classic tribal synergy of Merfolk creatures. Its introduction into the core set helped stabilize the power levels for the Standard format of the time while offering newer players a straightforward example of tribal mechanics.
The card features artwork by Ray Lago, whose work is characterized by a high level of detail and a distinct fantasy aesthetic. Lago approached the illustration by focusing on the fluidity and sharp, predatory nature of the Merfolk, utilizing cool aquatic tones to emphasize their environment. The card was well received by the player base for its functional design and as a nostalgic nod to earlier iterations of Merfolk cards, maintaining the established visual identity of the species within the broader game lore.
