The DCI, as google tells me, is the governing body behind things like banned cards, restricted cards and the way that the competitive gameplay is governed, and the artwork (done by Maro?) is just a scribbled dude in a blindfold holding a mug of beer tossing darts at cards on a dartboard as a self-deprecating way to show off the "rigorous decision-making process" that the DCI uses to ban a card

Overall, Tyvar might not be the splashiest card, but the way he ticked every box I needed him to for a deck I was already playing puts him ahead of the competition for 2023
