Wizards of the Coast admits AI used in Magic: The Gathering art after initial denial, will reassess creative vendor policies

Wizards of the Coast admitted some AI components were used in recent Magic The Gathering marketing artwork, after previously denying it.

WotC says a vendor used AI tools like Photoshop to help create the images, though a human did the overall work.

WotC will reevaluate how it works with vendors on creative work beyond Magic products to align with its stance against AI for final game art.

This follows a recent controversy over whether 2024 D&D art contained AI-generated images.

Some WotC artists said they won't work with the company in the future if it uses AI for art after this incident.
