Seraph of the Suns

Seraph of the Suns was originally introduced as a rare card in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Amonkhet, designed by Wizards of the Coast. The set drew heavily from Ancient Egyptian mythology, and this card was crafted to embody the aesthetic of the sun-drenched, desert-focused plane, utilizing the angel creature type that remains a staple of the white mana color identity in the game.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, who sought to capture a sense of divine radiance and geometric precision consistent with the art deco-inspired motifs of the Amonkhet world. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid limited-format performer, though its subsequent inclusion in The List—a curated selection of reprints inserted into later booster packs—served to introduce the design to a new generation of players who missed the initial printing.
