Where it came from
Merfolk of the Pearl Trident was originally released as a common creature card in the Alpha edition of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, representing the quintessential low-cost blue creature. The International Collectors' Edition, released in 1993 for the European market, featured the same mechanical design but with gold-bordered backs and square corners, distinguishing these cards from those intended for tournament play.
The artwork was created by Jeff A. Menges, one of the original illustrators for the game who contributed to many foundational cards in the set. Menges employed a classic fantasy aesthetic to capture the lore of the Merfolk, focusing on a straightforward, iconic depiction that helped establish the visual language of the game during its inaugural year.
