At some point in Eldraine’s history, there lived a human named Malacan who was exiled from the court of Vantress. We don’t know precisely why, but we do know that Malacan was a bit of a romantic, saying, “Virtue is virtue, whatever the heart that nurtures it.” This quote appears as flavor text on a particular Magic: The Gathering card, a blue instant called Run Away Together that was first printed in 2019’s Throne of Eldraine. None of this is particularly out of the ordinary, but the card art is odd, depicting a human walking hand-in-hand with what looks like a monstrous scarecrow. They’re wearing blue robes typical of Vantress humans and look positively gleeful.
