The artwork for this piece was crafted by Li Yousong, whose illustration captures the authoritative and tactical atmosphere suggested by the card's name. Yousong’s approach focuses on a blend of traditional fantasy aesthetics and the distinct visual identity often associated with contemporary digital game design.
