Secret Lair – Ornithological Studies

Of all of Magic’s fictional creatures, birds are far and away the most popular. First invented by Richard Garfield in 1987, birds eventually made their way into Alpha via the powerful “Birds of Paradise” card. We thought it would be cool to envision what birds would look like if they existed in real life, so we commissioned some naturalistic, classical illustrations from Ovidio Cartagena and Allen Douglas.
