Provenance

Where it came from

Moon Sprite was released in 1997 as part of the Portal set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was specifically designed as an introductory product to welcome new players to the hobby, featuring simplified mechanics and a focus on beginner-friendly gameplay. The set was intended to bridge the gap between complex hobbyist games and more accessible board games of the era.

The card features artwork by Susan Van Camp, a prolific illustrator known for her contribution to fantasy gaming throughout the late 1990s. Van Camp utilized a ethereal, delicate style for the Moon Sprite, aiming to evoke the whimsical and celestial nature of the creature. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard utility creature, valued primarily for its niche role in teaching players about flight mechanics within the game's evolving strategic framework.
