[id/ "Year of the Ox" 4 panel comic featuring the minotaur from Hurloon Minotaur. The first panel welcomes the reader with "Happy New Year!" and announces it to be the year of the ox, so invites the reader to an introduction with Hurloon Minotaur. 

Second panel states "In the beginning days of Magic, the face of Magic was a minotaur" and showcases different items that bore this face, including a jean jacket, pin, early advertising, and the Seattle Game Center artpiece. It shows the minotaur snorting smugly. 

Third panel reveals "Hurloon Wrangler", an unglued card with denim walk, and that Hurloon Minotaur was in the original rules book. Hurloon Minotaur reminisces he used to fight bears. 

The forth panel depicts the minotaur looking a little sheepish. The text boxes read "These days, Jace kind of fills the face position... This wasn't an all that strong card in those days either, but it was a card that many people had much love for." It reads the mana cost, 1 gen and 2 red, and "vanilla 2/3". /end id]

Panel 2. The student is holding an artifact and the narrator explains, "They learn from the past. That's why their strong point is adventurous archaeology surveys.

Panel 3. The student hold his hands up to a silver statue and the narrator continues, "They summon spirits so they can do such thigns as personal listen to them. Possessing the sculpture allows them to explore esoteric teachings." The student says aloud, "I wonder what kind of past this has."

[id/ "God of Knowledge". The background of these panels are speckled with many stars and the bright lights of the borealis, and Alrund's line art is streaked with rainbows. The first panel shows an interviewer approaching Alrund, a bald, pale man with defined muscle and a large braided beard of pure white. On his shoulder perches a raven. The interviewer asks in the second panel how Alrund acquired his knowledge, to which the god answers that he battled monsters in a cosmic world mortals can't reach. In the third panel, the interviewer asks if Alrund could teach him something, and Alrund proclaims today to be the start of the last solar term (the coldest time of the year). In the last panel,  the interviewer exclaims "pay attention to your clothes!" because Alrund wears only a loin cloth to cover the bottom half of his body. /end id]

Translated mtgjp comic. Image description under the cut

“ [4 Panel Comic] It's at last the week of 3-19 for the release of "Time Spiral Remastered". Likewise, we will speak about the influential Tarmogoyf! This time, the original artwork was placed in a modern border, and Tarmogoyf themself will be appearing at the press conference! “

Tarmogoyf recorded interview, 283rd game by Anoa Design.

Panel One. Tarmogoyf sits at a desk with a name card and a reporter holds a microphone forward as they ask "This return... How do you feel about the original art being used?"

Panel Two. Close up on Tarmogyf as they respond "For a second time, we arrive at the future and get a fresh star with a new frame to compete with." Above their words are pronunciation guides that just consist of "gah" in various forms.

 Panel Three. Tarmogoyf has picked up the reporter in a pose reminiscent of the card art, and says "This person in my grasp is happy!" The reporter is notably screaming for help, and the audience watching is laughing. Another monster in the shadowed foreground watches this scene.

 Panel Four. The tarmogoyf from the set booster packaging is crying and eating a piece of paper as they cry "Why am I only art for the packaging?" A small deer wearing an exasperated expression comments "Don't worry about it..."

Final image is of the card. Tarmogoyf, one and a green; creature, lhurgoyf. Their power is equal to the number of card types in all graveyards and their toughness is that number plus one. The flavor text reads "What doesn't grow, dies. And what dies grows the tarmogoyf." The art is a ferocious monster with a gaping maw that holds its victim up like a mouse in its clawed grasp.
