Provenance

Where it came from

Steward of Valeron was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set introduced the concept of the shard, a color philosophy combining a primary color with its two neighbors, with Valeron representing the Bant shard, which emphasizes order, community, and structured combat.

The card was illustrated by Greg Staples, a prolific artist known for his atmospheric and textured approach to fantasy subjects. His design captures the vigilant nature of the steward, utilizing the bright, ceremonial aesthetic of the Bant culture to distinguish the character as a protector within the game's expansive lore.
