Day 22: Angel

I have to say this was an interesting thing for Wizards to do for this set just like they did with Godzilla in Ikoria. I read Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” in college because the theme of my third English class was 19th-century horror so I recognize all of the characters. Of course Dracula himself is represented by one of the most famous vampires in the multiverse: Sorin Markhov so that’s no surprise.

It’s also cool to see other characters like Abraham Van Helsing and Mina Harker with Mina as Thalia. For those who haven’t read the book Mina is the person who compiled the story of Dracula in her journal (as seen in Mina’s Journal/Investigator’s Journal) which is basically the book itself.

I also like seeing Lucy Westenra as a card. For those unfamiliar with the story of Dracula she’s his first English victim to turn into a vampire and after she gets bitten by Dracula she chases children around who refer to her as “bloofer lady” which is told in a newspaper article. I like how the card depicts her transformation from a human to a vampire by her still wearing the same clothes and just having blood on her hand and lips. That card was perfect to represent her.
