Where it came from
Magar of the Magic Strings was released as part of the 2022 Magic: The Gathering set Unfinity. As a member of the 'Un-' series, the card was designed to explore unconventional mechanical spaces, specifically the intersection of graveyard interaction and puppet-themed play. The card features a unique ability that allows players to animate instant and sorcery cards from their graveyard as creatures, effectively bringing the set's carnival-inspired aesthetic to life.
The card was illustrated by Wisnu Tan, who captured the character's whimsical and slightly sinister puppeteer persona. The design reflects the set's wider thematic commitment to science-fiction and amusement park tropes, blending the surreal nature of the Un-sets with standard rules-based mechanics. Upon release, it was well-received by players looking for complex, non-traditional commanders, as it offers a challenging playstyle centered on managing an army of living spells.
