Last August, when a longtime D&D artist was found to be using AI tools for commissioned pieces, WotC said that it was updating our artist guidelines to make clear that artists must refrain from using AI art generation as part of their art creation process for developing D&D art. In December, amid a wave of company layoffs that included many human art directors, WotC publicly reaffirmed its internal guidance that we require artists, writers, and creatives contributing to the Magic TCG to refrain from using AI generative tools to create final Magic products. As accusations of AI use in the creation of the promo image grew throughout the day, WotC posted multiple defenses on Thursday (such as this archived, now-deleted post) insisting that the art in question was created by humans and not AI. But given the evidence, the situation was too much for veteran MtG artist Dave Rapoza, who has created art for dozens of Magic cards going back years.
Im already minimizing my sorcery speed plays, and activating Alchemists Refuge at the end of their turn to play a Thragtusk gives them a window to resolve a big Sphinxs Revelation

This can easily get out of hand with little effort, and are amazing additions to most green decks
