Beacon Hawk

Beacon Hawk was released in 2006 as part of the Dissension expansion, the final set in the Ravnica: City of Guilds block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It represents the Selesnya Conclave, one of the ten iconic guilds defined by a specific color pair and philosophical identity, in this case green and white. The design reflects the guild's focus on creature tokens and communal harmony, providing a modest flying threat that fits within the set's mechanical themes of collective strength.

The card was illustrated by Heather Hudson, a prolific artist in the game's history known for her painterly style and ability to convey the mystical elements of creature types. In designing the piece, the intent was to visually capture the aesthetic of the Selesnya, emphasizing nature-themed adornments and a sense of architectural integration with the natural world. While not a centerpiece of competitive play, the card is frequently cited by collectors for its clean, illustrative style and its role as a representative common from an era of world-building that remains highly regarded by fans of the game.
