Where it came from
Righteousness was first printed in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield as part of the game's inaugural collection. As a white-aligned instant, it reflects the early design philosophy of the game, which leaned heavily into flavor-driven mechanics that rewarded players for utilizing defensive tactics. The card serves as a thematic representation of divine protection, mechanically granting a target creature a significant toughness boost to withstand an attack.
The art for the Fifth Edition printing, released in 1997, features an illustration by Dan Frazier. Frazier was one of the game's original artists, known for a distinctively grounded and often gritty style that helped define the visual aesthetic of early Magic sets. The Fifth Edition version was part of a massive base-set consolidation effort by Wizards of the Coast, designed to bring various card mechanics under a unified rules framework for a growing player base.
