Blurbs
Saturday Morning D&D: It's 1983. It's Saturday morning. You douse a bowl of sugary cereal with milk and run over to the TV. (You try not spill, but you spill a little anyway. Someone else will get that.) After fiddling with the dials, you tune in for the first-ever episode of the Dungeons & Dragons TV show. Cartoon scientist and skilled artist Tyler Walpole has successfully distilled that feeling into Magic art.
Artist Series: Mark Poole: Mark Poole is one of the all-time greats. He's been with the game since the start and continues to make awesome art to this day. We really wanted this drop to celebrate his rich history with the game. To that end, it includes both classic art—some of which has never before been seen in the modern frame—and brand-new masterpieces for beloved cards. Shocking no one, Mark delivered, big time.
Special Guest: Fiona Staples: You would not believe what Fiona Staples said when we asked her if she wanted to illustrate a Secret Lair drop. She said, "Yes." Well, since you're looking at this product page, you probably believe it pretty easily, but we still think we're dreaming. The Fiona Staples, award-winning comic book artist known for her emotive art and compelling characters, has entered the Magic arena! (Not that one.) She directed her unbelievable reserves of talent toward five sweet cards—cards that can be yours!
Special Guest: Jen Bartel: Jen Bartel is here, and she means business. She honed her skills on the mean streets of multiple major comic companies, and now she's come for Magic. When she karate-kicked the doors to Wizards HQ wide open, she immediately charged the artist pit. But it wasn't 'til she performed at least six different judo throws on several perplexed staff members that she told us what she wanted: her own Secret Lair drop. We immediately acquiesced—partially out of fear, but mostly out of a deep respect for her ridiculous talent. She immediately put her award-winning skills to work. Several weeks later, a flaming arrow crashed through the window of our boss's office, immolating a carefully manicured fern. These cards were attached.
Phyrexian Praetors: Compleat Edition: Glory to Phyrexia! Celebrate the Praetors' inevitable victory over the rest of the Multiverse with these five terrifyingly awesome reprints. This is each of the original Praetor cards, lovingly restored to the original Phyrexian they were written in when we found them in a pool of viscous black fluid that had begun to seep out of the haunted R&D mini fridge. For good measure, we've placed them in the new legendary Praetor frame that debuted with Kaldheim. It's never too early to suck up to your future monstrous overlords.
Mother's Day 2021: We're celebrating Mother's Day with a tribute to Magic's favorite mom: Mother of Runes. We brought in four different artists to give their own take on motherhood. You can feel the affection and protection in both Ejiwa "Edge" Ebenebe's and Livia Prima's gorgeous pieces. Real-life mother and child Rebecca Guay and Eliette Mitchell both created poignant pieces from different sides of the relationship. (And yes, you read that correctly — [Rebecca Guay]] is back, too!)
Dan Frazier is Back: The Signets: You can't spell "classic Magic art" without "Dan Frazier." Ok, you caught us. You can. But metaphorically, you absolutely cannot. The man is a bastion of old-school art, having illustrated the original Moxen and countless more. So, when we decided we wanted to celebrate Modern Horizons 2 with some retro frame cards, we knew exactly who to call. Dan went above and beyond, illustrating the allied signets as if the guilds were conceived almost 30 years ago. Some parts will look familiar. Others will not. Only one thing is for sure: Dan Frazier is back with a vengeance.
