Hypnotic Specter — Douglas Shuler MTG Playmat (Signed)
This Magic: The Gathering playmat features Hypnotic Specter, illustrated by Douglas Shuler for Limited Edition Alpha, the earliest release in Magic’s history.

The restrained palette and simplified composition give the piece a strong old-school identity, with the armored form and glowing eyes creating a memorable visual presence that has long been associated with one of Magic’s most recognizable early creatures.
