Where it came from
Carth the Lion was introduced as part of the Modern Horizons 2 set in 2021, a direct-to-modern Magic: The Gathering expansion designed to introduce new cards and reprints specifically for the Modern format. The character of Carth originates from the lore of the Dominaria plane, specifically the Urza’s Saga storyline, where he served as a central figure in the fight against the Phyrexians. This specific promo version, identified by the collector number 189s, features the distinct extended-art frame popularized by the series to showcase premium card designs for collectors.
The artwork was commissioned from Donato Giancola, an acclaimed fantasy illustrator known for his mastery of oil painting and classical composition. Giancola sought to capture the veteran status and weariness of a legendary warrior, emphasizing the character's rugged experience and tactical prowess. The card was well-received by players and collectors alike, who valued both its mechanical utility as a planeswalker-focused commander and the sophisticated, painterly aesthetic that distinguishes Giancola's contributions to the game.
