New artwork by artist Seb McKinnon for Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering is the collectible and digital collectible card game created by Richard Garfield (colloquially known as Magic cards, Magic or just MTG). Each game of Magic represents a battle between wizards known as planeswalkers who cast spells, use artifacts, and summon creatures as depicted on individual cards in order to defeat their opponents, typically, but not always, by draining them of their 20 starting life points in the standard format.

McKinnon shared the inspiration behind the Mythos artworks, and reveals that the famous Lascaux cave paintings became his starting point for the cave-style art he did for this set: "So of course, the famous Lascaux cave paintings became an inspiration and a starting point. I thought this style was quite fitting for this 'beast plane'. I used loads and loads of different pumice gels as a base, mixed with acrylics, to mimic the texture of rock and earth."
