Where it came from
Patron of the Moon was released in 2005 as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed during a period when Wizards of the Coast was exploring themes of Japanese mythology and spirits, known as kami. The creature belongs to a cycle of legendary Patron spirits intended to embody the mystical essence of the plane's moon, providing players with a unique land-based utility engine that remains a staple for niche deck archetypes.
The card was illustrated by the artist Todd Lockwood, a veteran of the game whose work often emphasizes high-fantasy aesthetics and complex creature anatomy. Lockwood's depiction of the Patron utilizes the ethereal, flowing design language characteristic of the Kamigawa set, aiming to capture the moon spirit as both an imposing physical entity and a spectral presence. Upon its debut, the card was received as a fascinating, albeit high-mana, tactical tool for players interested in unconventional deck-building strategies.
