Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder

Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder was released as part of the 2022 Magic: The Gathering expansion Streets of New Capenna. The set draws inspiration from 1920s Art Deco aesthetics and noir cinema, depicting a sprawling metropolis governed by five distinct crime syndicates. This card represents the Riveteers, the faction responsible for the city’s construction and manual labor, who pride themselves on their raw strength and resilience.

The character design was illustrated by Wisnu Tan, who captured the imposing, stony nature of the creature to reflect its role as a master builder and enforcer. In the game's mechanics, the card serves as a 'legendary creature,' a designation reserved for unique, significant figures within the setting's narrative. Players and collectors often appreciate it for its bold representation of the Riveteers' industrial, brute-force identity within the game's broader lore.
