Magmatic Sinkhole

Magmatic Sinkhole was originally printed in the Modern Horizons set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2019. Designed as a direct-to-Modern expansion, the set was intended to introduce powerful cards into the Modern format without requiring them to pass through Standard. The card itself functions as an efficient removal spell that utilizes the graveyard as a resource, echoing the design philosophy of flexible, delve-based interaction that has become a staple of competitive play.

The art for this iteration, featured in the Modern Horizons Timeshifted frame, maintains the aesthetic identity of the original release while presenting it in a classic, nostalgic layout. The illustration, rendered by Greg Staples, captures a volatile, erupting landscape that emphasizes the card's theme of overwhelming elemental force. It was generally well-received by players for its utility in controlling the board, becoming a persistent fixture in various tempo and control strategies due to its scalability in the mid-to-late game.
