Provenance

Where it came from

The Talruum Minotaur was released in 1996 as part of the Mirage expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Mirage served as the inaugural set of the Mirage block and was notable for introducing a more thematic, top-down design philosophy influenced by African aesthetics and desert-themed folklore, shifting away from the more generic fantasy tropes of early sets.

The artwork for the card was created by artist Quinton Hoover. Hoover, a foundational figure in the visual identity of early Magic, employed a stylized, bold aesthetic that emphasized the rugged, imposing nature of the creature. His illustration was well-regarded for its distinctive use of line work and vivid, expressive characterization, which helped establish the visual language for the Minotaur creature type in the game's evolving multiverse.
