Sword in one hand, spell in the other.
"I may be an academic and detective by trade, but don't underestimate me. I have more than a few tricks up my sleeve." There is nothing inherently special about this piece in particular, from August of 2018, in the grand scheme of my lore and story....
Enigma, Intrepid Explorer // Enigma, Newly Reborn
This custom card was pieced together through the art commissioned from Croft, again back in June of 2018. Though a more powerful card than my previous attempts to make a Planeswalker, I too find that this one, with the benefit of hindsight, is less interesting...

"Blood, a lot of it… but no body, and no evidence of being dragged. Could the rain have washed the trail away, or was magic involved?" This one was drawn by AlaiCinereo (FA/Twitter) back in April of 2018. Though I haven't seen the artist post anything for...
