Saryth, the Viper's Fang // Saryth, the Viper's Fang

Saryth, the Viper's Fang was released as part of the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Art Series in 2021. This specific set consists of specialized, oversized cards that celebrate the visual narrative of the main Magic: The Gathering expansion, focusing on the gothic horror themes of the Innistrad plane. These cards were produced as collectible art pieces rather than tournament-legal game cards, allowing players to appreciate the intricate details of the illustrations in a larger format.

The artwork for this card was created by artist Fajareka Setiawan, who utilized a dark, atmospheric palette to capture Saryth’s role as a mysterious and predatory forest protector. The design emphasizes the duality and lethal nature of the character, drawing inspiration from traditional folklore tropes present within the Innistrad aesthetic. Upon release, the Art Series cards were well-received by collectors for their high-quality print finish and the opportunity to showcase artwork that often goes overlooked during standard gameplay.
