Angel's Tomb

Angel's Tomb was released in 2015 as part of the Magic Origins expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed to explore the origin stories of five iconic Planeswalker characters, serving as a narrative bridge between the game's past and its future. As an artifact card, Angel's Tomb reflects the set's thematic focus on the artifacts and relics that define the histories of these central figures, providing a utility-focused combat mechanic that rewards players for casting creature spells.

The card's striking imagery was created by artist Dan Murayama Scott, whose work on the piece emphasizes the solemn, gothic aesthetic of the Innistrad plane from which the card draws inspiration. Scott’s design captures a sense of looming divine presence, utilizing light and shadow to convey the tomb's reactive nature. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid inclusion for limited play formats, noted for its ability to provide a temporary, flying threat that helps players maintain pressure throughout the mid-game.
