Apes of Rath - Jeff Laubenstein - Stitched & Signed MTG Playmat

Apes of Rath: Jeff Laubenstein Signed Stitched Ultra PRO MTG Playmat

This official Ultra PRO playmat reproduces Jeff Laubenstein's original illustration for Apes of Rath, the creature card from Tempest (1997), in a wider crop than the card. This copy has stitched edges and has been signed by Jeff Laubenstein in black ink at the lower right.

The artwork shows three exaggerated, silver-haired apes confronting the viewer in a forest. The central ape fills the foreground with its muscular arms folded across its chest and an uneven, toothy grimace, while the ape on the left roars with large canines and a pink tongue, and the ape on the right bares its teeth beneath a heavy brow. Grey-black fur with blue and purple highlights stands out against orange-brown trunks, dark leaves and a green woodland background.
