Where it came from
Shanodin Dryads originally appeared in the 1993 Limited Edition Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering, designed by Richard Garfield to be a core part of the game's initial green deck identity. The artwork, created by Susan Van Camp, characterizes the dryad as a whimsical, forest-dwelling spirit, reflecting the high-fantasy aesthetic that defined the game's debut. As a common card, it served as a foundational creature for early players learning the mechanics of summoning and forest-based resource management.
The Collectors' Edition version, marked as number 217, was released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 as a non-tournament legal set intended for display and collection. Designed to be a premium, boxed product, it featured gold-bordered backs and squared corners to distinguish it from standard game pieces. While these cards were not sanctioned for professional play, they are now highly regarded by collectors for their historical connection to the early era of the trading card game and the preservation of the original illustrations.
