Sorceress Queen

The Sorceress Queen card from the 1994 Summer Magic set, also colloquially known as the Edgar set, represents a unique chapter in the history of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Produced in a limited run for the European market to address supply shortages, this set was printed using the Revised Edition files but featured several notable discrepancies, most famously the naming of the cards, where the printer erroneously substituted the names of the development team members for the actual card titles. In this instance, the card that is functionally a Sorceress Queen was printed with the name 'Edgar'.

The design of the original Sorceress Queen artwork is credited to Melissa Benson, whose work during the early years of the game is highly regarded for its distinct, painterly aesthetic. The illustration depicts a commanding, ethereal figure, capturing the dark fantasy tone that defined the game's initial release. Because the Summer Magic set was largely recalled due to its printing errors, it became a significant rarity, attracting collectors who value the intersection of production history and the specific artistic contributions of original illustrators like Benson.
