Howl from Beyond

Howl from Beyond was released as part of the Summer Magic set, famously known among enthusiasts as the Edgar set. Produced in 1994, this batch of cards was a limited-run reprint of the Revised Edition intended for the Southeast Asian market, specifically to help introduce Magic: The Gathering to players in the Philippines and surrounding regions. The cards are distinguished by a slightly different card stock, a distinct color saturation, and a unique, thinner font compared to the standard releases of the time.

The card features an illustration by Dan Frazier, a foundational artist for the game who contributed to many of its most iconic early pieces. His work on this card leans into the macabre, gothic aesthetic that defined the early visual language of the game. While the card itself is mechanically identical to its Revised counterpart, its rarity and the curious history of the 'Edgar' printing process have made it a sought-after piece for collectors who appreciate the transitional and localized artifacts of the game's expansive history.
