Provenance

Where it came from

Squire was released in 1994 as part of The Dark, the fourth expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed with a darker, more gothic aesthetic than its predecessors, moving away from high-fantasy archetypes to explore themes of folklore, horror, and macabre legends.

The card was illustrated by Dennis Detwiller, a prominent figure in the gaming industry known for his work on RPGs like Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green. His contribution to The Dark reflects the set's somber visual direction, though Squire is often cited by the community for its curious lack of mechanical utility, becoming a recurring touchstone in discussions regarding early card design experimentation.
