As apart of Fright-A-Thon, we have a month and a half of content to fill. So on some days, especially the eve of October, the most horror filled month, you’ve got to find outside sources. I’ve played Magic: the Gathering for nearly 10 years now, so I’ve seen some of the scariest cards wreak havoc on the various formats.
This list, however, will not be about those cards. It’ll be celebrating the most scary looking or horror inspired Magic cards in the game’s history. Some disclaimers, I’m not including Invoke Prejudice because fuck the guy that made that art. If you’re part of the crowd that has a problem with Wizards of the Coast “retiring” certain cards because of their art, the door is over there.
Magic: the Gathering has been around for over twenty years now, so that means there’s a lot of art to go on to cards. There have been some truly terrifying art on cards. There’s likely to be a lot of black cards on this list because of the color pie and the identity of that color in Magic, but there’ll be some surprises for sure. Let’s start with an honorable mention.
Honorable Mention: The Entire Innistrad Block
These are the cards that didn’t quite make the cut, but I’ll list them here for other people to enjoy.
So, what’s your scariest MTG card art? Did it make the list? Make sure to check back to That Hashtag Show for more Magic, Horror, or general pop culture content.
