Where it came from
Paragon of Modernity was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set draws inspiration from the art deco aesthetics of the 1920s and themes of urban corruption, organized crime, and industrial advancement. This specific card reflects the set's focus on the 'Obscura' faction, a group of wizards and information brokers who operate within the art scene and journalistic circles of New Capenna.
The artwork was illustrated by Evyn Fong, who utilized the set's signature geometric motifs and bold, angular lines to emphasize the theme of modern progress within the fictional city. The design intent was to capture a sense of refined elegance combined with the underlying tension characteristic of the city's power struggles. Upon release, the card was integrated into the game's limited formats, appreciated by players for its contribution to the set's mechanical identity.
