Call of the Conclave

Call of the Conclave was originally introduced in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering set Return to Ravnica, representing the Selesnya Conclave, a collective focused on nature and community. As a sorcery that creates a 3/3 green and white Centaur token for two mana, it was designed as an efficient staple for aggressive or midrange strategies that emphasize board presence. Its inclusion in the 2017 Modern Masters set served to provide players with accessible, functional reprints of popular cards from the game's recent history, specifically supporting the limited drafting environment where such tokens were highly valued.

The artwork was illustrated by Terese Nielsen, a long-time contributor to the game known for her evocative and painterly style. In this piece, she focuses on the harmonious, organic aesthetic of the Selesnya guild, capturing the spirit of a creature emerging from the wilderness to join the fight. The design was received favorably by the player base for its blend of thematic flavor and practical utility in competitive formats, cementing its place as a recognizable icon within the broader Ravnica card cycle.
