Balmor, Battlemage Captain // Balmor, Battlemage Captain

Balmor, Battlemage Captain, collector number 44 from the Dominaria United Art Series, was released in September 2022. This series was designed to showcase the expanded illustrative work of the Magic: The Gathering set, featuring high-quality prints of the card art without the frame and text boxes that usually overlay the images during gameplay. These cards were distributed exclusively in collector boosters as a way for Wizards of the Coast to highlight the aesthetic contributions of their artists to the game's long-running lore.

The artwork for this specific card was commissioned by the Wizards of the Coast art department and executed by the artist Mila Pesic. The illustration emphasizes the character's role as a tactical combatant, capturing the essence of the battlemage archetype within the Dominaria setting. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who value the opportunity to view the intricate details of the character design in a format that mirrors a traditional art print, serving as a distinct collectible variant separate from the playable game pieces.
