    Halls of Mist, hands down best.
    In terms of overall body of work, I'd have to go with RKF. i.e. Livonya Silone, Kaervek's Purge, Essence Flare, Misinformation.

    The old Nightmare art is my favourite. Brings back so many good memories of kitchen table mono black decks.



    Notable mentions - Cabal Therapy, Hand of Cruelty, Urzas Phyrexian Colossus, Dark Ritual and Chainer's Edict. No prizes for guessing my favourite colour

    With a very great certainty, you can see by the choices people make in this thread when they started playing.

    For example, I started with Mirrodin 1, but I still like the Mirage artworks the most. So it is not that clear ^^

    Original Cabal Therapy for sure.

    I'm a big fan of Mark Tedin's older stuff like


    Mindstab Thrull
    Mind Ravel
    Necropotence


    I've also always liked Richard Kane Ferguson's stuff like

    Nebuchadnezzar
    Wildfire Emissary
    Arcane Denial

    I really like the portrayal of huge monsters with downsides from the early sets.





    Funny that Jesper Myrfors and Mark Tedin were usually tapped for this task.

    In addition to awesome authentic art, the text box feeds the feel of an unwieldy monster that only a powerful wizard could control. Of course a weak or unprepared wizard could also summon them, but would be quickly overwhelmed by their sheer power.

    Re: What's your favourite artwork on any card?

    I always liked Serra Avatar's art. Felt like there was more going in the art that made me want to dig deeper. I'm sad they never picked it as an HD wallpaper.


    Notable mentions are original Wrath of God because it reminded me of the the art in the bible from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
    Also any art that is simply art gets a lot of appreciation from me, like most land art and cards like Stasis.

    Oh I also really like Harold McNeil's stuff. All the Tempest Circle of Protections are just gorgeous.

    Re: What's your favourite artwork on any card?

    There were lot of awesome artworks, unique styles, and pictures that caused players to investigate the card. When I was a kid, I once received a core set starter pack with some cards and a thin guide how to play the game. I cannot remember the actual edition but it was quite a long time ago. All those fantastic creatures and spells let me dream about the foreign worlds and dragged me into the game; they had souls, in contrast to the highly polished generic ones they print nowadays.

    I refer to something like beta/FBB Terror or Leery Fogbeast which were my favourite cards back then.

    The most recent artwork I like is Tombstalker.

    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).

    Yes, its his art. It is the art for the 9th Ed Fat pack. Serra Angel vs Hypnotic Specter.

    I like that idea, I might have to borrow it.

    And pretty much anything by DiTerlizzi. Especially Nether Shadow.

    Drew Tucker anything. By far my favourite artist, but i like lots of artists and collect a lot of signatures. Most of my favourite art is from the early years.
