Provenance

Where it came from

Moonlit Strider was released in 2005 as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was designed to explore the Japanese-inspired folklore of the Kamigawa plane, focusing on the conflict between the mortal realm and the spirit world. As a common card, the Strider represents the ethereal nature of the 'kami' spirits that defined the block's aesthetic and mechanical identity.

The card features artwork by the illustrator Daren Bader. Bader’s contribution to the set emphasized the haunting, fluid transition between the physical and spiritual planes that characterized the Kamigawa aesthetic. Upon release, the card was received as a functional utility piece within the white color identity, noted for its ability to interact with the block's pervasive 'soulshift' mechanic, which allowed players to recur spirit creatures from the graveyard to their hand.
