Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor is a card from the Modern Horizons 3 Art Series, a promotional set released by Wizards of the Coast in 2024. These cards are designed as high-quality, frame-free art prints meant to showcase the intricate illustrations commissioned for the corresponding Magic: The Gathering expansion, allowing collectors to appreciate the visual storytelling of the game outside of the traditional gameplay mechanics.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Livia Prima, who is known for her detailed and ethereal fantasy character designs. Prima aimed to capture the regal, meditative nature of the character, emphasizing the ornate cultural aesthetics associated with the plane of Kamigawa. The piece was well-received by the player community for its focus on character personality and its departure from the restrictive borders of standard card frames.
