Provenance

Where it came from

Worzel, the Protector was released as part of the Mystery Booster Commander Edition in 2020. This card belongs to a unique subset of cards designed specifically for the Playtest cards feature of the Mystery Booster set, which served as a tribute to the experimental and often chaotic nature of Magic: The Gathering's design history. These cards were created to mimic the look of internal Wizards of the Coast playtest materials, intentionally featuring simplified layouts and distinct visual markers that separate them from standard, tournament-legal printings.

The card was illustrated by Anna Steinbauer, a prolific artist known for her distinct and atmospheric contributions to the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. In keeping with the aesthetic requirements of the playtest project, the card utilizes a stripped-back, utilitarian visual style that focuses on mechanical clarity. While these cards were never intended for official competitive play, they were warmly received by collectors and fans of the game for their meta-commentary on the design process and their status as elusive, curiosity-driven artifacts.
