Creators: Stockholm17 Art for "Magic: The Gathering"

Lorenzo Gaggiotti, known for his work under Stockholm17, brings his distinctive style to Magic: The Gathering with four Mystical Archive cards for the Secrets of Strixhaven release.

Originally approached by Wizards of the Coast in 2024, Lorenzo’s first assignment was Smallpox, followed by Shamanic Revelation, Sheoldred’s Edict, and Monstrous Rage. Each piece required balancing detailed briefs with his signature illustrative style... blending intricate symbolism and narrative composition.

Highlights include the complex staging of Sheoldred’s Edict, depicting a judgment scene within tight spatial limits, and the conceptual design of Monstrous Rage, where a triangular arrangement of skulls represents stages of transformation. His work on Smallpox and Shamanic Revelation draws clear inspiration from his acclaimed deck, The House of the Rising Spade.

This collaboration marks a full-circle moment for Lorenzo, a longtime MTG player turned official contributor, merging his roots in custom playing cards with one of the world’s most iconic trading card games.
