Where it came from
Royal Assassin is a card from the Summer Magic set, frequently referred to by collectors as the Edgar set. Released in 1994, this printing was created as a promotional replacement for the original Revised Edition in international markets. It is distinguished by its unique, vivid color saturation and the distinct 'EDGAR' copyright line found on the packaging of the distributed product.
The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic illustrators in the game's early history. His depiction of the assassin—a menacing figure cloaked in shadow—captured the dark, gothic fantasy aesthetic that defined the game's initial branding. While the card mechanics remained identical to earlier iterations, the Summer Magic version is now highly sought after by collectors due to its limited distribution and the unintended print variations that occurred during its brief production cycle.
