Provenance

Where it came from

The Northern Paladin was originally introduced in the 1993 Alpha set as one of the quintessential white creatures of Magic: The Gathering. Created during the game's nascent stage by Richard Garfield, the card was designed to embody the high-fantasy archetype of the holy warrior, featuring iconic artwork by Jesper Myrfors that established the aesthetic tone for early white-aligned cards.

The 30th Anniversary Edition, released in 2022, serves as a commemorative tribute to the game's history. This specific version, numbered 29, reproduces the original card design and artwork while utilizing a modern card frame and a unique gold-stamped back, intended to celebrate three decades of the hobby for long-time enthusiasts and collectors.
