DESCRIPTION: After his phenomenal work on Draft, Chris was the obvious choice to illustrate the first "Epilogue" set art. In this illustration we see de-sparked Planeswalkers walking through a portal to a plane whose destination wasn't known to them. This is a crop of the final art that is seen below and was used for online marketing.

DESCRIPTION: Using inspiration from my childhood this piece showcases the desparked and fallen Planeswalkers (the heroes) of the setting. The final packaging uses foil substrate to shine and the playmat also uses a sparkly base to help the artwork shine even more!

ILLUSTRATOR: Aurore Folny and Pace Wilder
DESCRIPTION: Aurore illustrated the key art (top) and Pace illustrated the expansive base wrap (below). For this smaller set we wanted to fuss on Ral and Ravnica. We leaned even harder into the Thousand Year Storm from the setting to push Ral's electrical mastery to compliment the base wrap art.

DESCRIPTION: This piece is a small insert for the Lost Caverns of Ixalan. When John illustrated this piece I didn't expect that he would illustrate EVERY dinosaur on the page in layers but he did. To quote Indiana Jones, "This belongs in a museum!".

ILLUSTRATOR: Lie Setiawan
DESCRIPTION: Lie is the most reliable and amazing artist to work with over the years. He was the obvious choice for the Commander decks. He did an amazing job illustrating these characters and their diversity. Brass (upper left) required the utmost care as her likeness is based upon Jason Rainsville's mother. Getting Brass' likeness right was important so I created an email thread between so that Jason could also chime in on likeness with Lie through the process.
