Tyvar Kell

Tyvar Kell made his debut in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering set Kaldheim, representing a legendary planeswalker from the plane of the same name. As a character, he is portrayed as a boisterous, heroic elf warrior deeply connected to the saga-filled culture of his home, embodying the set's themes of Norse-inspired mythology and high-stakes heroism. His inclusion in 'The List'—a curated selection of cards from throughout the game's history inserted into random booster packs—serves to keep specific, thematic, or mechanically interesting cards available to players long after their original print run.

The visual design of Tyvar Kell was crafted by illustrator Johannes Voss, who sought to capture the character's exuberant and physically imposing nature through dynamic composition and vibrant, icy color palettes that reflect the harsh climate of Kaldheim. The card was well-received by the player community for its flavorful synergy with tribal elf mechanics and its direct, aggressive playstyle. Its appearance in 'The List' is marked by a small Planeswalker symbol icon in the bottom-left corner of the card frame, distinguishing it from the original printing while maintaining the integrity of the design.
