Early planeswalker design sketch?

Article

Hi folks,

I remember seeing on Maro's blog a hand-drawn sketch that showed what early planeswalkers would be like - it was specifically Garruk, and I remember that it was a landscape card with three abilities. However, I can't find it because Tumblr search is garbage. Does anyone have it to hand? Thank you!

Took me some Google-fu but here you go. You'll notice that this design would later be used for Sagas.

maro's artistic talent would later be used on [[look at me, i'm the dci]]

truly you can see how his unique style defines the cards he draws for

You mean earlier, right? Future Sight came out in 2007, Unglued in 1998.

I did notice that - that's actually the topic of the video I'll use this in! Thank you for your help, friend.
