Provenance

Where it came from

The Horizon Chimera is a multicolored creature card originally released in the Commander 2016 expansion, a set designed to showcase four-color legendary commanders and expand the strategic possibilities of the Commander format. It functions as a classic utility piece, embodying the set's focus on synergistic gameplay and the complex interplay between the Temur color identity of green, blue, and red.

The card was illustrated by the artist Chase Stone, whose work is characterized by a distinctive, painterly aesthetic that emphasizes dynamic lighting and texture. Stone's design for the Chimera captures the creature's hybrid, elemental nature, grounding the abstract concept of a shifting predator within the established visual language of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse.
