Haunted Ridge // Haunted Ridge

Haunted Ridge was introduced as a dual land in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering set Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. The card was designed to support the set's focus on gothic horror and the cyclical nature of the plane of Innistrad, specifically representing the treacherous, shifting landscapes found within the world's wilderness. The Art Series version specifically highlights the visual storytelling of the set by presenting the card’s artwork without the standard gameplay frames.

The artwork for this specific piece was created by artist Alayna Danner. Danner’s approach for the Midnight Hunt cycle focused on atmospheric tension and the interplay of light and shadow, leaning into the darker, autumnal aesthetic of the setting. Upon its release, the Art Series cards were well-received by collectors for their ability to showcase the illustrators' detailed environments, often serving as high-quality mementos of the broader Innistrad aesthetic that has been a mainstay of the franchise for over a decade.
