One of old-school Magic's most famous faces
Public demand for original paintings from Magic: The Gathering has exploded since the early 2000s, creating a well-established and competitive market. As the game’s subculture has matured, the weight of nostalgia has built up around famous and powerful cards from years past.
You can look at Magic as one of the world’s most powerful and extensive networks for promoting original art. Any card art printed today will become recognizable to tens of millions of players worldwide!
What’s more, associating the art with game pieces leads players to develop deep emotional attachments to those images. This explains why the most important factor in valuing Magic artwork is not the artist or even aesthetics, but the preeminence of its card within Magic subculture.
Arcbound Ravager (Carl Critchlow, 2004) sold for  $45,000 in May 2018.
For years it was the beloved centerpiece of popular tournament decks.
Sharazad (Kaja Foglio, 1993) sold for  $72,000 in July 2018.
Artwork from Magic’s first few years carries a particular premium over even the most famous cards and artists from recent years.
Benalish Hero is a perfect example of the kind of art the community is most interested in: an iconic era-defining creature from Magic’s very first printing (Limited Edition Alpha), featuring bold, memorable art.
Other paintings from that historic Alpha set are rarely seen on the market; the majority change hands in private deals. Mythic Markets is extremely proud to be able to offer the broader community an opportunity to invest in Alpha art.
