Where it came from
Nicol Bolas, first introduced in the 1994 Legends expansion, is one of Magic: The Gathering's most iconic Elder Dragon characters. This specific printing from the 2018 Masters 25 set was released to celebrate the game's quarter-century anniversary, featuring the card as a mythic rare to honor its historical significance within the game's lore as the primary antagonist of the multiverse.
The art for this iteration was rendered by Christopher Rush, who illustrated the original 1994 version of the card. His design aimed to maintain the menacing, regal aura of the dragon planeswalker, using classic fantasy aesthetics that grounded the card in the game's roots while updating the frame and card text to meet modern mechanical standards. It was well-received by players who appreciated the respectful nod to the game's foundational history.
