Where it came from
Released as an exclusive for the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con, this card is part of a special black-on-black foil set featuring the primary antagonists from the Magic: The Gathering storyline. The set was designed to commemorate the narrative arc of the Amonkhet block, specifically highlighting the return of the Elder Dragon Planeswalker, Nicol Bolas, as the central architect of the plane's corruption.
The artwork was created by illustrator Grzegorz Rutkowski, who utilized a distinct, minimalist aesthetic characterized by high-gloss ink treatments on a matte black card face. This stylistic choice aimed to emphasize the imposing and predatory nature of the character, moving away from traditional frame borders to create a stark, collector-focused presentation that was widely praised by the community for its premium feel.
