Description

Captain America was never high on my radar growing up�until the Marvel Cinematic Universe reintroduced him as the ultimate underdog with the heart of a lion. Chris Evans� portrayal transformed Cap from a forgotten Golden Age relic into an A-tier icon for a new generation.

As a lifelong Magic: The Gathering fan, I never imagined a world where Marvel and MTG would collide. And Now? I can actually run Captain America as my Commander. I�ve been hunting for the right equipment-based General for a long time. I wanted someone that felt iconic, and this Cap delivers on every front.

Since the card was released, Cap has been the only deck I�ve played! (Ask my playgroup!) Furthermore, I now have the very first definitive Marvel x Magic card�s art hanging on my office wall�the perfect backdrop for all my Zoom calls and Live Streams!

As Ryan shared:
�Marvel Superheroes were an important influence on me as a young artist and certainly contributed to my decision to be an illustrator. So when I was tasked with painting Captain America throwing his shield, I felt that this was important to me professionally and personally. Cap is shown in his costume that�s unique to the MtG/Marvel crossover. I presented my Art Director Cassie Murphy with a couple options for throwing poses and she thought this pose best fit the card mechanics. The painting itself has areas that have a gentle canvas texture, like on Cap�s face and costume, but the fiery background has areas with texture built up to catch light and enhance the chaotic nature of the battle.�

Painted with oil on stretched canvas. Framed in a metallic red floated frame, matching that of Cap�s shield, with the art itself measuring 24" x 30" (61cm x 76cm) without frame, it�s a centerpiece that feels as powerful as the hero it depicts.
