These are cards that can appear in regular booster packs, but they serve as alternate versions of the cards that players would also find with the usual <em>Magic<\/em> design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When they first appeared in 2019\u2019s <em>Throne of Eldraine, <\/em>the showcase treatments looked like whimsical storybooks that evoked the feeling of reading an old fairytale in an ornate tome. Though each subsequent set\u2019s showcase treatments were different, the goal has always been to capture a set\u2019s themes and worldbuilding through uncharted artistic expressions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mosswood Dreadknight and Tinybones, the Pickpocket in their Booster Fun formats from Magic: The Gathering. \" title=\"Mosswood Dreadknight and Tinybones, the Pickpocket in their Booster Fun formats from Magic: The Gathering. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Graphic: Charlie Hall\/Polygon | Image source: Wizards of the Coast\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cYou can open a pack and come across something that doesn\u2019t look like anything else in the pack, but is still of the set and of that pack, and sits in it, and means something to it,\u201d said Sarah Wassell, art director at Wizards of the Coast. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting and it feels different, but it still is completely related to every other aspect that makes the game great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Duskmourn<\/em> features several showcase treatments throughout the set. Some of the showcase cards replace the usual <em>Magic <\/em>frame with an otherworldly, neon television set. Another group of cards highlight a new creature type \u2014 animal spirits called glimmers \u2014 and has them jumping through shimmering shapes of gold light and bouncing off the card.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-3.jpg\" alt=\"Come Back Wrong, a sorcery, and Enduring Courage, an enchantment creature, a dog glimmer, from Magic: The Gathering.\" title=\"Come Back Wrong, a sorcery, and Enduring Courage, an enchantment creature, a dog glimmer, from Magic: The Gathering.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Graphic: Charlie Hall\/Polygon | Image source: Wizards of the Coast\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the final showcase treatment, known as double exposure, is particularly arresting and uniquely personal to the cards\u2019 depicted subjects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cWe were looking for a way to show characters and creatures in the set in a simplified portraiture style, somehow incorporating a strong visual element of fear and\/or psychological horror, or showing both a hero and their greatest fear in the same image,\u201d Pelletier explained in documents shared with Polygon. \u201cWe were attracted to the double exposure technique in film photography, used for \u2018spirit\u2019 photographs, and fine art photography: this gave us an ability to combine two images into a new image, becoming more than the sum of its individual parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-4.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of older, sepia-toned photographs showing two folks from the Georgian English period with spectral images behind them.\" title=\"A pair of older, sepia-toned photographs showing two folks from the Georgian English period with spectral images behind them.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Two photographs showing alleged spirits in the frame.

Since this art style was meant to appear on <em>Magic <\/em>cards, how would the artists and designers incorporate a century-old approach of developing analog photographs onto digitally rendered trading cards?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of testing that goes into this\u2026 I wish I could tell you that you can tell by looking at a screen, but a lot of times it is printing out a shiny piece of paper and seeing what it feels like and looks like in person,\u201d Pelletier said. \u201cI can count eight different specialized print treatments that we tried.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Wizards of the Coast\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Wizards of the Coast\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Wizards of the Coast\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Wizards of the Coast\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Early variations of the double exposure treatment created internally at Wizards of the Coast during development of <em>Duskmourn<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As they continued to experiment, the set\u2019s designers looked to the mechanics of actual photography and explored inverse images to create something that looks like a film negative. They also tested neon ink to capture the \u201980s-retro-horror theme of the set with an added pop of color.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Eventually, the printing process both tested and challenged some of the designers\u2019 most ambitious ideas, as well as the thematic throughline that these cards were meant to have with the rest of the set. The end goal for the double exposure cards was ultimately about telling a story through two images stacked on top of each other, so nailing the relationship between those images was critical for conveying the emotion behind the cards to players.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-9.jpg\" alt=\"A singular image from Magic: The Gathering\u2019s Duskmourn in a rainbow of colors, from yellow through blue.\" title=\"A singular image from Magic: The Gathering\u2019s Duskmourn in a rainbow of colors, from yellow through blue.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Variations of potential neon color treatments during development of &lt;em&gt;Duskmourn&lt;\/em&gt;. | Image: Wizards of the Coast\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Wizards of the Coast\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThe way each of the two images overlaps is really key to the success of the final image,\u201d Wassell explained. \u201cThere\u2019s a couple [cards] with moths, and where the pattern of the moth wings overlaps with the face of the character can do a lot. So at that point, if you decide to use neon, and emphasize one image way over the other one, that interplay between the two images becomes more challenging and changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-10.jpg\" alt=\"Variations on the double exposure theme, laid out on a table for evaluation.\" title=\"Variations on the double exposure theme, laid out on a table for evaluation.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Wizards of the Coast\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For the designers and illustrators, this meant being keenly aware of not only the relationships between contrasting colors, but even gestalt. In art and psychology, gestalt describes the habit of people finding patterns or form in complex images. In the case of double exposure cards, it highlights the challenge of utilizing two distinct visual elements to tell a nuanced and emotional story.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/magic-the-gatherings-latest-art-treatment-is-over-100-years-old-11.jpg\" alt=\"Victor, Valgovoth\u2019s Seneschal and Marina Vendrell in their double exposure art treatments, in yellow and purple.\" title=\"Victor, Valgovoth\u2019s Seneschal and Marina Vendrell in their double exposure art treatments, in yellow and purple.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Graphic: Charlie Hall\/Polygon | Source images: Wizards of the Coast\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cYour brain understands it\u2019s one plus one, but the answer becomes three because you\u2019ve done something more than put two things together,\u201d Wassell explained. \u201cThe way they interact, a third thing starts to happen, and you start to see something different. It doesn\u2019t look like a moth with a woman, it starts to look like a woman with a headdress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The final product utilizes the double exposure style across a variety of creature cards within the set, including the story\u2019s heroes, villains, and some of the more menacing monsters lurking in the halls of the haunted house realm that is Duskmourn. If you\u2019re lucky enough to find one of these cards in a booster pack, don\u2019t be scared to use them in a deck. These horrors can\u2019t hurt you\u2026 probably. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Duskmourn<\/em> goes on sale at your local game stores on Sept. 27.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Disclosure: This article is based on a <\/em>Magic: The Gathering &#8211; Duskmourn<em> event held at Wizards of the Coast\u2019s headquarters in Washington state.
