Xorn // Xorn

The Xorn art card was released in 2021 as part of the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Art Series, a collection designed to highlight the illustrative talent behind the Wizards of the Coast Magic: The Gathering expansion set. These cards were distributed exclusively within Set Boosters, intended as collectible supplements for players and art enthusiasts rather than for use in gameplay. The series functions as a celebration of the intersection between traditional fantasy tabletop gaming and the expanded visual language of Magic: The Gathering.

The illustration was crafted by artist Dmitry Burmak, who focused on capturing the creature’s distinctively alien, elemental nature within the Dungeons & Dragons lore. Burmak’s approach emphasizes the Xorn's rocky, subterranean composition and its singular, cyclopean eye, aiming to convey a sense of curiosity mixed with an appetite for precious ores. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the community for its high-quality foil-stamped signature and its ability to showcase the intricate detail of the creature's geological features without the obstruction of standard card text.
