Quintorius Kand // Quintorius Kand

Quintorius Kand is a card featured in the 2023 'The Lost Caverns of Ixalan' Art Series, a promotional set released by Wizards of the Coast to showcase the detailed illustrations created for the main expansion. This particular entry highlights the character Quintorius, a loxodon archaeologist who has become a central figure in the modern narrative of Magic: The Gathering. The card features an artwork designed to capture his scholarly pursuit of ancient history and his elemental magic, specifically adapted for the premium, borderless display characteristic of the Art Series format.

The illustration was created to bridge the character's traditional appearance with his newfound role as a planeswalker exploring the subterranean depths of Ixalan. Artistic direction for this set focused on integrating mesoamerican-inspired aesthetics with high-fantasy character design. Upon its release, these Art Series cards were well-received by collectors who appreciate the larger-format, non-game-piece versions of the set’s key character art, effectively serving as collectible postcards that highlight the visual storytelling integral to the game.
