Provenance

Where it came from

Protector of the Throne was originally released in the Metal Raiders expansion set, which debuted in North America in 2002. As one of the early sets in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, Metal Raiders served to expand the pool of available monster cards following the initial Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon release. This specific card, identified as MRD-EN087, reflects the aesthetic of the early Konami era, featuring classic fantasy artwork typical of the series' foundational monsters.

The card was designed as a common-rarity normal monster, intended to fill out the competitive landscape for deck-building during the game's nascent stage. Its design is rooted in the high-fantasy motifs favored by Kazuki Takahashi and the game's art team during the transition of the trading card game from Japanese to international markets. Like many cards from the Metal Raiders set, it remains a nostalgic touchstone for players who collected during the original 2002 launch period.
