Wow, Wizards really needs to better vet artists or indeed artwork at this point.

Wow Donato is a huge name/artist and long time MTG artist. This one is definitely not as egregious as others but I agree that the back arm and stairs (at least) are pretty damning, and the obvious other similarities aren’t helping.
Even if this was accidental, why she used reference art from such a well known artist in the same space is kinda strange, as is why she changed so little from it.
