Provenance

Where it came from

Carth the Lion was introduced in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering set Modern Horizons 2, a product designed specifically for the Modern format that features cards tailored for complex gameplay interactions. The character is a legendary figure from the lore of Dominaria, specifically tied to the historical conflict against the Phyrexians. As a rare creature card, it was mechanically engineered to support the planeswalker archetype, rewarding players for building decks focused on specific hero-focused mechanics.

The card’s visual identity was brought to life by acclaimed fantasy illustrator Donato Giancola, known for his masterful use of light and classical composition. Giancola depicted Carth in a dynamic, battle-ready stance, emphasizing his weathered armor and leonine aesthetic to reflect his status as a seasoned warrior. The design was received favorably by the community for its thematic resonance with long-standing Magic lore and its distinct, painterly art style that stands out within the modern digital-focused aesthetic of the game.
