Captured by Lagacs // Captured by Lagacs

Captured by Lagacs was released in 2021 as part of the Modern Horizons 2 Art Series, a specialized subset of the Magic: The Gathering expansion designed to highlight the illustrative craft behind the game. This card serves as a high-quality art print version of the original card illustration, which depicts a scene from the plane of Mirrodin. The set was created to celebrate the aesthetic depth of the game by providing collectors with borderless, gold-stamped versions of artwork that originally appeared on cards within the larger Modern Horizons 2 release.

The illustration was created by artist Titus Lunter, who has contributed extensively to the visual identity of Magic: The Gathering. Lunter intended to capture the mechanical, metallic aesthetic of the Mirrodin setting, focusing on the menacing presence of the Lagacs and the tension of a capture scenario. The artwork was well received for its dynamic composition and its ability to convey a specific narrative moment within the game’s dense lore, serving as both a functional game piece and an individual piece of collectible fantasy art.
