Captured by Lagacs // Captured by Lagacs

Captured by Lagacs is an art card from the Modern Horizons 2 Art Series, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2021. This set was designed to showcase the high-fantasy illustrations featured on cards in the Modern Horizons 2 expansion, which brought a mix of new cards and reprints into the Modern format of Magic: The Gathering. These cards serve as collectible tributes to the illustrators, featuring high-quality prints without the standard game frames or text.

The artwork for this piece was created by artist Titus Lunter, who has contributed extensively to the Magic: The Gathering aesthetic. The illustration depicts a creature caught in the webs of the Lagacs, a group of spider-like entities from the game's lore. The design leans into the dark, atmospheric style prevalent in modern fantasy gaming, focusing on textural detail and a sense of impending danger. The card was well-received by collectors for its clear view of the complex linework and moody color palette present in the original game card.
