For Magic's 7th Edition core set, Wizards of the Coast decided they wanted new art for every single card they were going to put into the set. Tristan Elwell was one of the artists brought in for the set, to re-envision the old cards. The cards he illustrated for the set were Elvish Piper, Memory Lapse, Merfolk Looter, and Staunch Defenders.
