Provenance

Where it came from

Zareth San, the Trickster was introduced as a mythic rare creature in the 2020 Magic: The Gathering set Zendikar Rising. As a legendary Merfolk Rogue, the card was designed to embody the rogue-themed mechanics of the set, specifically utilizing the ability to cheat permanents from an opponent's graveyard onto the battlefield. This promotional version, designated as collector number 242s, features unique borderless alternate art that showcases the character's manipulative nature within the hazardous landscape of the plane of Zendikar.

The artwork for this piece was crafted by Zack Stella, a prominent illustrator known for his atmospheric and character-focused contributions to the game. Stella aimed to capture the essence of a deceptive predator, emphasizing Zareth San's lithe posture and the ethereal, murky energy associated with the character's abilities. The card was well-received by players interested in 'Dimir-colored' control and tempo strategies, as it offered a powerful, high-impact finish that rewards tactical graveyard interaction.
