Quintorius Kand

Quintorius Kand was introduced as a pivotal character in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse during the 2023 release of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. As a Loxodon planeswalker with a background in archaeology from the Strixhaven campus, his design reflects a scholarly explorer aesthetic, blending traditional elephantine features with equipment suited for subterranean discovery. This specific promo version, numbered 238p, was distributed through promotional channels to celebrate the set's release, offering an alternate presentation of the character to highlight his role as a central figure in the set's narrative.

The artwork was created by veteran illustrator Zoltan Boros, who has contributed to the game for decades. Boros focused on capturing the sense of discovery and intellectual curiosity that defines Quintorius, emphasizing his tactical role as a planeswalker who facilitates card advantage and burn damage through exploration-themed mechanics. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its synergy in Commander formats, as it effectively rewards the player for discovering new cards and managing a library, fitting the thematic exploration focus of the Ixalan plane.
