Rootha was humbled in the whale's presence. It was glorious and beautiful, all on its own terms.

Where it came from
The Spectacular Skywhale was released in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Strixhaven: School of Mages, as part of the set's broader exploration of the magical university of Strixhaven. It was designed as an uncommon creature card to reflect the fantastical, whimsical nature of life in the sky-faring regions above the campus, intended to serve as a versatile utility card in limited play formats.
The card features artwork by Serena Malyon, whose style captures the creature’s immense, floating anatomy with a sense of gentle movement. Malyon focused on blending the ethereal, dreamlike qualities of a whale navigating the clouds with the scholarly, arcane aesthetic of the Strixhaven plane. Upon its debut, the card was well-received by players for its imaginative design and for how seamlessly it integrated into the set’s oceanic-meets-academic visual identity.
