The folks over at Wizards of The Coast have left the comfort found in the lands of woodland critters and ventured into a world of creepy clowns, UFOs, horrors made of teeth, and moths with their upcoming MTG Duskmourn set. Recently, I had the chance to sit down and hear from the team behind the horrors of this upcoming release, and one thing quickly became clear to me - a lot of care has been taken to capture the spirit of '80s horror that the set’s aesthetic is based around.
MTG Duskmourn is set in a brand new plane for the Magic-verse, where a once-peaceful world was taken over by a house infinite in size and its resident boogie man, the giant moth creature known as Valgavorth. Around its endless hallways, the folks at Wizards of the Coast and Ovidio Cartagena - Senior Art Director for Dukmourn: House of Horror - have sprinkled a plethora of details and homages that will delight fans of the horror genre the world over. These details extend far beyond simply the art on the cards but also to this set’s mechanics, so they should impress fans of the best card games too.
