3. Consider Their Aesthetic Appeal
In Magic, the art on a card plays a big role in how a character is perceived. Whether it’s their visual design, their pose, or the setting they inhabit, the artwork can enhance your connection to the character. Your waifu or husbando should be someone whose art excites you, as they’ll likely be part of your deck or playmat for a long time.

Example 3: Ferdi and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice (Custom Sleeves)

Ferdi’s waifu is Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, and he’s taken his admiration for her to the next level by designing custom card sleeves featuring her image and buying an Atraxa playmat. Atraxa’s striking appearance—her four-color design and towering presence—makes her a perfect fit for Ferdi’s style, but it’s her mix of beauty and strength that captivates him. Atraxa is a character who commands attention on the battlefield, and Ferdi loves how her story ties into the themes of growth and transformation. For Ferdi, she isn’t just a powerful card; she’s a symbol of the way he approaches Magic: bold, multifaceted, and unapologetically strong. His custom sleeves featuring Atraxa serve as a tribute to the character’s power and grace.
