Provenance

Where it came from

Mayael the Anima was originally released as a legendary creature in the Shards of Alara expansion in 2008, designed to represent the leader of the Naya shard. This oversized version was produced for the 2012 Commander's Arsenal, a premium limited-edition box set intended to celebrate the popularity of the Commander format by providing high-quality, foil-treated reprints of influential generals.

The artwork for this version was commissioned from artist Chippy, who emphasized the character’s connection to the massive beasts of the Naya plane. The design focuses on her role as an 'anima,' a spiritual conduit capable of summoning powerful creatures from the library. The oversized formatting was a distinct aesthetic choice meant to provide a more imposing presence on the tabletop, particularly for players using the card as their designated commander.
