Magic: The Gathering Artist Seb McKinnon Does It Again in This New Theros Beyond Death Card


Fan-favorite Magic: The Gathering artist Seb McKinnon illustrated another stunning new art for the upcoming MTG set Theros Beyond Death, and today Wizards of the Coast has revealed the card featuring it: "Allure of the Unknown".

The rare red/black Sorcery card does something we've never seen in a Magic card before: It lets you reveal the top six cards of your library, and it lets your opponent choose a card they can play without paying its mana cost while you can keep the rest of the cards in your hand. Check it out:

While this card looks unplayable in the current Standard format, it will most likely see play in multiplayer Commander since it's considered a political card that could give an opponent of your choice an advantage.

McKinnon's art looks amazing here, and I would definitely like to have a playmat with that art. I also would like to get a playmat featuring Ryan Pancoast's new Theros Beyond Death planeswalker symbol art.

What do you think about "Allure of the Unknown" and McKinnon's new art? Let us know in the comments section below.
