MTG costume I made for Wizards of the Coast

[EHyde she/her]

This past spring I made a costume for a promotional video for Magic: The Gathering. The video has been online for a while now, but I just got copies of some still photos today, and I thought I'd share them here. This was my first professional costuming job of this nature so it was really exciting! And it also possibly contributed to me being more interested in actually learning how to play MTG as well.

 

 

 

 

 

the video can be seen at huntbiggergame.com

I am similarly completely unfamiliar with MTG, but that costume's amazing!

[Ashiok]

Better yet, it's pretty storming accurate too!

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

Ah, MtG. I spend waaaay too much cash on you, but you're too addictive.

 

That's Garuth (the Apex Predator) you're designing. Poor guy. Has such a sad story.

 

Wait a second... you said you designed it this past Spring... that's March-May ... which is at least TWO WHOLE MONTHS BEOFRE M15 WAS EVEN PRERELEASED!!!! WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL US!? KNOWING ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION OF MAGIC CARDS IS THE GREATEST GIFT A MAGIC FAN COULD POSSIBLY GET (a bit behind getting an entire booster of mythics.). Ahem. (cough). Pardon my envious fanboy outburst.

 

Next time you design a costume for Wizards of the Coast, could you PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE tell us about it?

Believe me, I'd have told people about this much sooner if I hadn't had to sign an NDA  They're pretty big on their secrecy!

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

NDA for just a card game? Wow. More proof that magic is a big card game.

[Gamma Fiend he/him]

O.o Wow, that is pretty amazing! Great work! And the fact is was a whole official type thing where you had to sign something and all that is even crazier! Garruk has probably always been one of my favorite Planeswalkers, and I've been loving his story and slow descent into darkness and corruption.

oh, and yeah, MtG is HUGE! This card game ain't going anywhere for quite a while.

 

Edit: Went through the videos, pretty funny stuff. 'Put some flame on it!' for the win!
