Brom's take shows Liliana from another period in her life: self-confident, severe, and authoritative, this Liliana has more of the peremptory vibe of the earliest iteration of the character, Liliana Vess, way back in Lorwyn. Brom, of course, has only just made his return to illustrating for Magic after quite the hiatus. The art for the borderless showcase version of the card was created by the singular and indelible Brom. That promise of exclusivity might be why the art we see above went for a hair above $25,000 in auction earlier this month. After Fačková created the art for the card itself digitally, she did a one-to-one repaint from scratch - and will never do it again. The version we see here, done in oils, is not the same art we see on the card. Let's discuss one at a time.įirst off, we've got Martina Fačková's version: a stunning, near-photorealistic depiction of the character that tells her story: Both new renditions of Magic's premiere morally conflicted necromancer sport fantastic updates over Steve Argyle's now-iconic (and until now, only) version of the card. ![]() Technically, Liliana of the Veil was reprinted not once, but twice in Dominaria United, once in a regular frame with art by Martina Fačková and once in showcase form by some guy named Gerald. When it comes to reprints, DMU is quite top-heavy, as we'll see, but even among the draft fodder commons, there's still some nuggets of discussion to be had. In the standard set of Dominaria United, 22 cards were printed that have existed in some form or another previously (again, not counting basic lands). ![]() We will be discussing, uh, less than that. Today, we're covering reprints in Dominaria United, but between the new set and its accompanying Dominaria United Commander, there are 165 reprints, not counting basic lands. So while my fellow writers were off picking through all the recently revealed and soon-to-be released cards from Dominaria United, I instead did not do that, so let's talk about cards we already know. Wouldn't you rather just never have to learn new things? Doesn't that sound nice? Sure, there are the few among us who prefer to talk about new cards, but with every new card comes more words to read, art to memorize, and interactions to explore. It's time for another deep dive into everyone's favorite spoiler season topic: reprints! Hello again, friends and acquaintances, strangers and adversaries.
