Orim

Orim, Samite Healer was released in 1997 as part of the Vanguard set for the Magic: The Gathering card game. This set introduced large, oversized cards that represented specific characters from the game's lore, designed to be used in a variant format where players utilized these characters to modify their starting life totals and hand sizes. The inclusion of Orim served to flesh out the narrative surrounding the Weatherlight saga, a central story arc that dominated the game's world-building during the late 1990s.

The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic illustrators in the game's history. His design approach for the Vanguard series focused on imbuing these legendary figures with a sense of gravity and distinct personality to match their importance in the overarching story. While the Vanguard format experienced fluctuations in popularity, the character of Orim remains a respected figure among collectors for her role as the skilled healer of the Weatherlight crew and her enduring visual representation from a pivotal era of the game.
