Where it came from
Selfless Squire was released in 2016 as part of the Commander 2016 set, a collection of five preconstructed decks designed to introduce the four-color commander format to Magic: The Gathering players. The card appeared specifically in the 'Open Hostility' deck, which focused on aggressive combat strategies and the synergy between red, green, white, and black mana. This deck was created to showcase the 'partner' mechanic and encourage more dynamic battlefield interactions in multiplayer games.
The card was illustrated by Johannes Voss, a prolific artist known for his ethereal and emotive style within the Magic: The Gathering universe. The design centers on the theme of selfless protection, depicting a knight manifesting a spectral barrier to shield their allies from incoming damage. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical versatility, as it functions as both a combat trick to save a creature and a scaling threat that can turn the tide of a late-game encounter.
