Quintorius Kand // Quintorius Kand

Quintorius Kand was introduced as a central figure in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released in late 2023. As a planeswalker rooted in the lore of Arcavios, his presence in the Ixalan set represents a narrative shift, placing the scholarly archaeologist within the subterranean depths of the plane as he searches for ancient history. The card design emphasizes his identity as an explorer and spirit-caller, reflecting the archaeological theme of the set.

The Art Series cards serve as a premium showcase for the illustrations produced during the set's development. This specific print features the digital artwork by Johannes Voss, who has been a consistent contributor to the game's aesthetic. The piece captures Quintorius in his characteristic robes amidst the ruins of Ixalan, prioritizing a sense of adventure and discovery. Upon release, these art cards were well-received by collectors who prioritize the visual storytelling of the game over the functional mechanics of standard play cards.
