Even assuming it does, let me say that you have very debatable tastes. This piece is low-level derivative work, a la Rojo knock-off #142.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
Plus, she looks like she's starving. Are there no sammitches in heaven?

Try not to wake up on fire.
Ice Age has my favorite, but probably because that's when I started playing.
At that time I loved:

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

My favorite, for no real good reason:
Back in the day artwork was so crazy; I don't think WotC gave the artist a template/rough outline like they do now.
Gotta go with the angel chick at the top of the page.
Anyone else notice that SoA art was a whole new tier of art quality above everything produced before?
I also really like how Inkwell Leviathan is abstract yet the scale and ominous intent are clear.
Referring to the art on Stasis:
Leviathan was in one of the first decks I bought from a friend. I don't remember ever attacking with it, but man, it's huge!
I love how the art on Inkwell Leviathan takes some flavor from the original Leviathan. This thing just appeared out of nowhere, and the lighthouse is toast. Or...um...very soggy bread, at least.

How is that abstract? It clearly shows a giant fish about to destroy a lighthouse.
Because the subject in question is clearly fucking metal, that's why. Throwin the horns.
I always loved the art on Anarchy. I always had it at the top of my SB in Goblins so I could see it when I opened my deckbox.

Or not.
Elvish ranger much?
Suddenly! Pints of beer! Thousands of th~ ... Nope. Never mind.
I fail to see the attraction of "hott" elves and angels on cards. Its a fucking magic card, I pray that it doesn't turn you on... Illusionary Terrain is clearly more impressive than Elvish Ranger.
Oh, and I think all of the old dual lands have outstanding art, even though Badlands, Savannah , and Scrubland are a bit dull.
Team Giancoli. Rocking the mediocrity since 2008.
if you dont find girl in the angel art at the top of the page attractive, I dont know what to tell you. its not just a 'fucking magic card', its semi-erotic art that happens to be on a magic card. I checked your profile and it says you're 16 and that explains a bit. maybe if I was surrounded by 16 year old high school girls all the time I wouldnt find angel art as enjoyable as I do, but who knows. although Im more than willing to compromise and settle for 16 year old girls in angel costumes.
Oh, I loved that card when I was a kid. It made all my might serpents attack and it shut down my opponent. My MVP!!! ;)Rob Alexander > all

Apoc Hydra reminds me of Urotsukidoji...
Some of the best artwork has to be Plains, Mountain, Forest, Island, and Swamp
Ah, you're right, I guess that I'm too naive, just not mature enough to fully appreciate the beauty of this erotic angel.
Team Giancoli. Rocking the mediocrity since 2008.
Honestly? Ribs poking out != hot, or even attractive. When I see a girl in front of me, I don't want to be afraid I'll break her.
It is not 'just' the elf. Notice how awesomely spectral the forest looks. Note the obscuring fog in the back, hiding two darker shapes. Note the tree cupping the moon. If she catches your attention so much, notice the fur trims on her clothing or the definition of her muscles. At least make a comment on how the hands are not done as well as the rest of the piece. Nielsen is a pretty good artist, in my book.
Illusionary Terrain is one of those cards that's trying but does not quite reach. Look, the snow obviously changes into water without a plausible blend in the middle, and what the heck is he trying to do with the plain white in the lower left or the weird blue lines in the upper right (Mountains? Rain? Phyrexian invasions? Burning trees?)
'Snow, clearly featureless, changes into beach'. Brilliant art there, my friend.
'Spar tree, made with magic marker bark, perspective is irrelevant'.
'Shadows, probably something that happens only to rocks.'
'Focal points, I am sure my art teacher mentioned them once or twice.'
