ARCHANGEL OF THUNE M14 5 Existing at the border of historical realism and romanticism, the James Ryman art for Archangel of Thune was one of the first Magic arts that truly gripped me when I started playing, and it hasnt let go almost ten years later

If you have a 1st Edition card, look for the stamp on the lower left of the artwork
