The Old Goat vs. Bolas — Miriam Borgioli • 4 Seasons Bologna Winter 2023 MTG Playmat

This evocative playmat features The Old Goat vs. Bolas, illustrated by Miriam Borgioli and created exclusively for 4 Seasons Bologna Winter 2023.

The artwork stages an intimate, almost cinematic confrontation between an elderly man and Nicol Bolas, reimagined as a quiet card game played under the arcades of Bologna.

Rather than depicting raw destruction, the scene leans into subtle tension and narrative contrast: the immense, calculating presence of Bolas calmly holding a hand of cards, facing a frail yet resolute opponent.

Architectural details, snow on the stone floor, and everyday objects on the table ground the fantasy in a recognisably Italian setting, giving the piece emotional depth and strong storytelling weight.
