    I dunno. I've never been a fan of stuff like this. I mean, yeah, it's a chick and, yeah, it's not a bad face, but it's also not depicting Thalia. It's depicting face.

    The art is not bad, but it does not "tell a story" the way other cards do.
    It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

    I prefer some of the sketches.

    This art makes her look like another shallow selfie whore who tries to show off her new sword instead of the strong soldier/leader vibe the original art had.

    I'm generally a fan of Argyle's work, but again---it's a nice face..where's the rest of her?

    EDIT: Super high Res shot of the art of Argyle's tumblr shows a reflection of Avacyn in her eyes. Fuck thats actually boss

    Calling the card ugly is a vast overstatement.

    It's a good art, just not fitting the card.

    I like the concept--a closeup like this is something that we don't really have on many (any?) Magic cards. While it's neat to have this different type of perspective on the card, it's a bit too close up in my opinion. I don't need the whole body or anything, but it really should have been zoomed out a bit.

    Mayael was much worse as a closeup Artwork

    Looks like a decapitated head shot from an anime pr0n playmat. Buy a set foil if you want a foil pokemagic deck other wise you are just faking it.

    Mayael's art was actually depicting something important (her eyes). This is literally just qt+sword.

    Re: New Thalia promo

    Steve Argyle and Jason Chan are my top two artists. This and Mayael the Anima aren't my favorite but I wouldn't call them terrible. I'm starting to appreciate this card the more I look but I agree it lacks action.

    I disagree with this not showing the true Thalia.

    The focus radiates from here, like a true guardian. Her eyes shows an enormous amount of dedication, I feel like.
