Let's discuss MtG art: which cards you love just for the art? Which cards would be better with better art?

Let's discuss MtG art: which cards you love just for the art? Which cards would be better with better art?

Also, which Ponder do you prefer, the core set one or the OG Lorwyn AKA "Fishtits"?

I miss the old and weird MtG art. Now it all looks the same

can't think of any specific examples. unrelated, I always liked the art for this card. wish i could find it in a larger size

We will never ever get art as weird as Stasis', and it's such a shame

This is for you, as a token of peace

Only site I know that hosted hi-res old art got raided by WotC a while back. Has made it a bitch to mod DotP.

>art as weird as Stasis',
are we talking original or the lewd "alt art"?

The original I've never seen the weird alt art, what is it?

This card's art is just lovely

>"So...you gonna breastfeed me or what?"

I've always enjoyed the art styles from original Mirrodin.

Here's one of my faves.

The first time I opened a Mirrodin pack, the first card I got was this one and I fell in love, it's so cool

The Myr are my favorite MTG race.

My fav Myr

Lorwyn and Kamigawa have great and strange art


What's with Kamigawa and the shoals of weird looking fish?

i'm really bummed that i missed kamigawa, and lorwyn as well

That myr looks so sad.

...

obligatory guay

>dat flavor text

Cheeky fuckers

>Opportunity to name it "Foursee": Missed

Fairies and fae related cards usually have great art

Top kek

fishtits da best

also progenitus original artwork is what got me interested in magic, i became a timmy as fuck player

When it comes to guilds, the Orzhov have the best art

Just like the Vatican, I guess

Ah, Progenitus, how many "JUDGE!" must that "Protection from everything" must have caused...

>For Ice Age, I want the players to really feel the ice, so I'm going to draw fucking native american themed stuff in this card

The art is awesome, don't get me wrong, but fuck me if it fits the setting

There are two kinds of Magic players: the ones that like Foglio art and the ones that don't

"Is 'you' a thing?"

From EVERYTHING, bro

...

The level of detail is fucking impressive

I love the whole Scars of Mirrodin art block in general. Just look at this sexy bird/skull/snake thing. Probably one of the two coolest foils I own.

I have a goal of one day hardcasting Progenitus. He'll be boardwiped the next turn, but it'll be worth it.

Many of the Eldrazi had really awesome arts. Shame about the quality block.

This is the other one of my favorite foils. I just think it's super neat.

Time for a tough question:

Which HtT art is your favourite?

That looks fucking futuristic even for the Simic,it's great

Bottom left, followed by top left, then top right. That spirit wolf is pretty darn neat.

Alternate art polukranos is pretty cool as well.

huge angel fetish, this card is why I play miracles

"Yes, but why water?"

Pic related is pretty cool. Not a huge fan of the setting, but it's nice to see the blown up art. Excited for the Innistrad book.

I play a copy of each in one of my decks, but I have to save that my favorite is definitely the Wolf followed by the top left (Hoover) followed by the people dancing followed by the dinner table. Extra bonus "epic meme" points if you play the Wolf Howl while wearing the 3 Wolf Moon Shirt

>human advisor mutant

Simic is the best

Yellow table for sure. Just to clarify, its a fox not a wolf

Count me in boss, I love that early cheese. Makes magic look fun.

japan likes fish
kamigawa is japan
.*. kamigawa likes fish Q.E.D.

NIGHTMARE MODE: FAVORITE DARK RITUAL ART

I bet Kor taste milky.

Best art error?

Bringin' skeksis back.

...

For me it's either between that one with three sorcerers in a circle or the OG art with a generic looking evil wizard. I can't decide, they both tickle my hooded magician boner equally well.

kek

I agree, for me the Rebecca Guay one is the best, but that's probably just because I love all her cards.

Bird Wizards are awesome. I love this artwork especially because of the atmosphere. Snow looks like it's whipping around and the lantern glow really makes things pop.

don't ask plz

Show plz

They didn't have too, we all got the joke anyway.

>implying its an error

all of his art is so comfy

also dat old mtg card balancing
>lets punish people for not buying a bunch of cards so they're stuck with ones like this

...

on second thought maybe the actual art/card in question would make my post more interesting

Ice Age Dark Ritual is the best one

Little Billy opens a pack, sees that and decides to play Magic no more

more like little billy opens a pack, sees that card and thinks its pretty fucking cool and becomes addicted to mtg and death metal for the rest of his life

Does he also decide to buy singles for the first time and gets 4 copies of this card too?

Best Preordain art comin' through

This is one of my favorites in the new set

I got a foil one at the pre-release and it's fucking awesome. Also, the card is nit bad either.

say what you want about mechanical and flavour side of nuEldrazi, but fuck me, isn't the art magnificent

NuEldrazi art is great

One of my personal favorites here

I use Urza's and Ice Age personally, I also really like the Masques version

This, however, was the image that first got me interested in Magic. Turns out Invasion block was a good time to start, go figure

Same here. I really liked their designs.

Obliterators look so much worse

The alternate Negator art looks way too organic for a Phyrexian imho

...

They all look kind of sad to me.
I'm new to Magic, what's the story on Myr? Aren't they all dead now?

this was my favourite card as a kid

art you posted is best ponder indeed, fishtits+parmesan cheese make this one of the best mtg arts ever

Specually, the Italian Legends version, with a more saturated color.

IM A FUCKING WIZARD

>I search my deck for three skulls and put them onto the battlefield

NOT THE BEES

They got turned into phyrexians

I love the Richard Kane Ferguson art

Shame he doesn't do MTG art anymore

...

>tfw it's been almost 10 years since a new Magic card has had RKF art on it

He also gets love from me for doing the art for one of the few cards that shows Goblins as being little badasses and not bumbling retards

>The serene beauty of the oracle gazing across the sparkling water
>The familiar, but alien anatomy
>The slumping hand
>The bright colors in contrast with the grey waste
>The lifeless corpses
>The cute footsies

I love everything about it.

...

...

...

Does any other card feature nudity?

Fun, fun, fun

Esper landscapes I fucking swear.

Especially the basic lands.

Of all the places in all the blocks, Esper is my favorite. The landscape is a big part of it.

jim murray is pretty good with the exaggerated body shapes

I've got a love for full-art lands of any kind. Especially the Unhinged lands, but I don't want to pay $10 per land, $20+ if the land is an island, for that set.

Best art

What art error? She is clearly holding that dress with her hand.

>magnetic ring
>magnetic dress

Clearly intentional.

Anyone got a higher resolution picture of this magnificent card?
