Provenance

Where it came from

Magus of the Wheel was released in the 2022 New Capenna Commander expansion, serving as a functional creature-based reprint of the iconic red sorcery Wheel of Fortune. As part of the 'Magus' cycle—a series of creatures that embody the effects of powerful, restricted, or reserved-list spells—this card was designed to provide players with a repeatable, albeit vulnerable, way to reset hands and refresh resources in the commander format.

The artwork for this specific printing was illustrated by Magali Villeneuve, whose aesthetic style blends intricate fantasy detail with a grounded, atmospheric flair. Her depiction of the Magus emphasizes the arcane and structural elements of the New Capenna setting, capturing a character centered on the cyclical nature of power and fortune, which has been well-regarded by collectors for its integration of high-fantasy tropes into the distinct art deco-inspired visual language of the set.
