The Miller Mills Again

 He's back!


For the alternate art version of Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire, they brought back Ian Miller to do the illustration. For anyone keeping track, we haven't seen this classic fantasy artist's work on a Magic card since Weatherlight - that is, 1997. They haven't touched this guy in nearly a quarter of a century. Why not? Who were they making room for - another Eastern European schmuck named "Igor"? Regardless, it's a joy to see his art on a card again, and it feels damn fine to be vindicated by the fact that the piece is so killer. Hopefully we get more appearances put in by classic artists... if only they weren't all on promotional products!
