Dreaming Darkly brought the surreal pen-and-ink artwork of acclaimed illustrator Jim Woodring into Magic: The Gathering. His dreamlike illustrations transformed familiar fantasy imagery into strange, otherworldly scenes, giving the release an immediately recognizable visual identity. The collection also shared a mechanical focus on repeatedly casting creatures, making the growing battlefield feel like an expanding gallery of Woodring’s surreal creations.
The total value includes bonus cards only if all are guaranteed to be included.
