Prix du Gen Con Vintage Championship

That was artist Mark Poole's job for this year's Vintage Championship. The text on the card he was hired to draw? Target player draws three cards. That's right, the prize for this year's Gen Con Vintage Championship will be a piece of original art that re-imagines the best card-drawing spell ever printed, Ancestral Recall. Past prizes have included a newly painted Chris Rush Black Lotus and a fresh Mark Tedin take on Time Walk.

“I took the original painting and had our graphic designer Matt Stevens – in proportion – mock up a new card frame so it would look like a current card that is about 15 inches by 12 inches. The flavor text says ‘2005 Vintage Champion', the collector number is 1 of 9, and the expansion symbol is the Vintage Championships logo. It's pretty cool.”
