Where it came from
Professor Onyx was introduced in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering set Strixhaven: School of Mages, representing the planeswalker Liliana Vess in her disguise as a faculty member at the titular magical university. The card was designed to reflect Liliana's complex arc as she sought refuge from her past by teaching the dark arts of Quandrix, balancing her identity with her innate power.
The card’s striking aesthetic was rendered by illustrator Kieran Yanner, whose work is characterized by a high-fantasy sensibility that emphasizes character presence and atmospheric lighting. The design aimed to capture both the academic rigor of the setting and the character's signature necromantic themes, resulting in a mythic rarity card that became a staple for players utilizing spells-matter mechanics in various formats.
