Provenance

Where it came from

Will-o'-the-Wisp first appeared in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed to serve as a low-cost, resilient defensive creature. Its ability to regenerate for a single generic mana made it a frustrating hurdle for early players, embodying the flavor of a spectral entity that refuses to be put to rest. The card became a staple of early black control decks, valued for its ability to repeatedly block high-power attackers without dying.

The version from the Masters 25 set, released in 2018 to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the game, features the iconic artwork by Rob Alexander. Originally commissioned for the 1993 base set, Alexander's illustration captures the eerie, flickering nature of the spirit, utilizing dark, moody tones that defined the visual aesthetic of the game's formative years. The reprint in Masters 25 was intended to evoke nostalgia among veteran players while showcasing one of the classic, foundational pieces of Magic's creature design history.
