"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 reprinted in the Magic 2013 core set, continuing a long tradition of simple, baseline creatures in Magic: The Gathering. As a common-rarity blue creature, it serves primarily as an efficient utility piece for limited formats and as a foundational element of the Merfolk creature type, which has remained a recurring staple of the game since its inception in the early 1990s.
The art for this specific printing was illustrated by Greg Staples, who rendered the merfolk with a focus on high-fantasy detail and the characteristic aquatic aesthetic of the civilization. Staples’s design intent was to capture the disciplined, militaristic nature of these seafaring creatures, grounding them in the game's broader lore of oceanic dominance. The card was received as a straightforward, functional inclusion for deck-builders seeking to fill out early-game creature slots.
