Astarion’s Thirst brought the charismatic vampire Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3 into Magic through a collection centered on blood, temptation, and his pursuit of revenge. Artwork by Justyna Dura, Bartek Fedyczak, Nereida, Mila Pesic, and Livia Prima captured Astarion’s alluring and dangerous character across the drop. The collection stood out for pairing Astarion with cards that reinforced his vampiric identity and themes of blood, life drain, and deadly indulgence.
