Horror

The Horror token, bearing the collector number 10, was released as part of the Commander Legends set in 2020. It was designed to serve as a physical representation of the creature type summoned by specific cards within the set, such as the planeswalker planeswalker commander cards or various spells that create Horror creature tokens. This token allowed players to keep track of the board state during the chaotic, multi-player environment that Commander Legends was specifically engineered to foster.

The artwork was commissioned from Scott Chou, a frequent contributor to Magic: The Gathering who often utilizes a visceral, moody aesthetic. Chou’s illustration for this token leans into the classic tropes of cosmic and psychological terror, featuring a creature defined by unsettling anatomy and shadows. Its reception was generally positive among players who appreciated the shift toward more evocative token art that aligns with the darker themes found within the set's expanded mechanical identity.
