Dogged Pursuit // Dogged Pursuit

Dogged Pursuit is part of the Art Series included in the Kaldheim expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast in early 2021. The set was inspired by Norse mythology and heavy metal culture, aiming to capture a rugged, winter-bound aesthetic. These cards were specifically produced as collectible art pieces, featuring the original card illustration on the front without the game text overlays typical of standard trading cards.

The artwork was created by Jason Rainville, a long-time contributor to Magic: The Gathering. Rainville focused on the thematic tension of the set, using dramatic lighting and a cold, desaturated palette to depict the relentless nature of the subject matter. Upon release, the Art Series was well-received by collectors who sought higher-resolution views of the game's creature and spell designs, establishing these cards as a staple for fans of the game's expanded visual lore.
