Provenance

Where it came from

Phantasmal Dreadmaw was released in 2021 as part of the Modern Horizons 2 expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card serves as a tongue-in-cheek homage to Colossal Dreadmaw, a common creature that achieved meme status within the player community due to its frequent reprints and consistent presence in limited formats. By incorporating the 'Phantasmal' mechanic—which causes the creature to be sacrificed if it becomes the target of a spell or ability—Wizards of the Coast leaned into the inside jokes surrounding the original card's perceived power level and ubiquity.

The artwork was commissioned from Jesper Ejsing, a longtime collaborator with Wizards of the Coast known for his dynamic and atmospheric fantasy illustrations. Ejsing was tasked with translating the iconic, imposing silhouette of the Dreadmaw into an ethereal, ghostly manifestation. The resulting design maintains the recognizable anatomy of the original while applying a spectral color palette to align with the card's illusionary nature, successfully blending nostalgic mechanical references with high-fantasy visual design.
