Where it came from
Xanathar, Guild Kingpin was released as part of the 2021 set Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, which marked the first full-scale crossover between Wizards of the Coast's Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. This specific promo card, numbered 239s, features the showcase 'rulebook' frame, a design choice intended to evoke the classic aesthetic of the Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, complete with stylized borders and vintage-style typography.
The art was created by Dave Kendall, who leaned into the grotesque and opulent nature of the iconic beholder. By depicting the crime lord of Waterdeep in this nostalgic art style, the design aims to ground the card in the deep lore of the Forgotten Realms setting. Upon its release, the card was well-received by both casual players and collectors for its distinct visual identity and its ability to mechanically represent the character's penchant for gathering secrets and hoarding information.
