We’re not sure how they got here, but somehow three of Magic’s most popular legends have found themselves embroiled in what can only be described as a “what if” scenario.

These cards feature the beautiful Gilded Foil treatment from the Streets of New Capenna set, and that’s the kind of hardware that catches attention. Please note this drop is available only in foil.

|We’ve been to these allied check lands before, but we don’t recall them ever looking quite like this. Contemporary artist Matt Jukes is known for his abstract landscapes that capture misremembered terrains from obscured memories. Add these lands to your deck or collection and take it to places it’s never been—but that feel oh so familiar.

|If you’ve looked at a fantasy property in the past decade (and more), you’ve likely seen Magali’s art. From jaw-droppingly-beautiful people to intricate landscapes with unfathomable detail, it’s clear why Magali is a genre favorite. Responsible for well over 100 pieces of Magic art, this Artist Series was joyously inevitable. Magali also collaborated with us on the flavor text, and each text reflects her artistic process when working on that piece. These cards are a magnificent centerpiece for any deck or collection. Get yours today!

|Sidharth Chaturvedi has a story to tell. Every one of his cards could spark a novel—the light, the expression, the posing—each a story in its own right. When we asked Sidharth if he would honor us with an Artist Series, he asked if his four cards could tell a story. They tell of a journey filled with grief, struggle, and success. Sidharth even helped us craft the flavor text to make sure his story was properly told. There may be several interpretations of Sidharth’s story, but all can agree on one thing: these cards feature gorgeous art that make each retelling a joy.

|Wayne Reynolds started painting for Magic in the original Kamigawa block, and his art has been synonymous with the game ever since. There’s a tension in what he makes, in both incredible action pieces and still moments of reflection. Wayne’s art always seems ready to hurl itself off the cards and go springing around the room. For his Artist Series, Wayne asked for dwarves, and dwarves he did deliver. He even collaborated with us on the flavor text! Stout, dependable, and sharp as a knife, these dwarves are ready to be center stage in your deck or collection

Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, only the right-handed frames were produced and the game was billed as an ambidextrous product. We believe this wrong has gone unrighted (unlefted?) for too long. No more will our players be forced to play with sub-optimal, right-handed cards. This is Magic as it was always intended, featuring five of the game’s coolest lefties, lovingly rendered by Volkan Baga, Jesper Ejsing, Andrew Mar, Chris Seaman, Matt Stewart.

April Fools! That story is made up, but these cards are totally real. Grab this drop for your deck or collection and score an excellent talking piece until we update the game and make these frames the real ones forever. That last point was also an April Fools’ joke. Probably.
