Beyeen Veil // Beyeen Coast

Beyeen Veil // Beyeen Coast was released in 2020 as part of the Zendikar Rising expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card belongs to a cycle of modal double-faced cards, an innovative mechanical design that allows players to choose between playing the card as a land or as a spell. This design was created to solve the common issue of 'mana screw' or 'mana flood' in card games, offering players greater flexibility in their deck construction and strategic decision-making during play.

The artwork for the card was provided by illustrator Johannes Voss, who utilized his signature ethereal and light-focused style to depict the coastal landscape of Zendikar. The design was received favorably by the Magic community, as the versatility provided by its dual-sided nature became a staple in various constructed formats. By blending a spell effect with a necessary land resource, the card serves as a representative example of modern Magic design, balancing utility with thematic immersion in the Zendikar setting.
