Where it came from
Will-o'-the-Wisp was originally released in the 1994 Alpha and Beta core sets for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast. As one of the early iconic creatures of the game, it was designed to represent the folklore concept of an elusive, flickering light that leads travelers astray, utilizing the game's black mana color pie to offer a persistent, defensive flying creature that could regenerate to avoid destruction.
The Unlimited Edition, released in late 1993, served as the second print run of the core game, featuring the same artwork by Jesper Myrfors as the original sets but with a white-bordered card frame to distinguish it from the limited printings. Myrfors, who served as the game's original art director, employed a minimalist and evocative style that helped define the early aesthetic of the franchise. The card remains a notable piece of Magic history, representing the high-power, low-cost utility creatures that characterized the game's foundational design philosophy.
