Wirewood Pride

Wirewood Pride was originally printed in the 2003 Legions set, designed as part of the Elf tribal synergy theme that defined that era of Magic: The Gathering. The card functions as a combat trick, allowing a player to grant a significant power boost to a target elf, reflecting the collaborative and expansionist nature of the Elves of Wirewood within the game's lore. Its inclusion in the 2022 Game Night: Free-for-All boxed set served to reintroduce this classic utility card to newer players in a format designed for casual, multiplayer social interaction.

The artwork for this iteration was rendered by Dave Dorman, a celebrated illustrator known for his atmospheric and painterly style, particularly within the Star Wars and science fiction genres. Dorman's contribution brings a grounded, illustrative aesthetic to the card, emphasizing the stoic and unified nature of the Wirewood warriors. By the time of its release in the Game Night set, the card was well-regarded by the community for its efficiency in aggressive tribal decks, remaining a staple of common-rarity Elf decks for nearly two decades.
