Reused art that we wish Wizards wouldn't reuse

[Pastorofmuppets]

Basically, we complain about the art being used on newer cards that are core set staples or that are whorishly reprinted
1) Hippie: I hate that stupid effing dinosaur thing in the art that's been used since 9th and would love to see it changed.
2) Llanowar Elves: I would love to see the 7th Edition art come back.

The 9th edition art for Hypnotic Specter is way better than the original and the 7th edition Llanowar Elves is probably the worst art the card ever had. Seriously.

Coat of Arms from 7th Edition. Fucking terrible. I can still remember Nihil when he went something like this about that art:

(Wizards) "So, Alexander, we want an artwork that fits with the concept of strength in tribes/masses, can you do it?"
(The Artist) "Sure! Here it is!"
(Wizards) "-.- Thanks dude.."

(Sorry Nihil for not having a good memory and your fine skill to depict ironic situations).

Creative description: "This card makes hordes of similar creatures more powerful. Make sure this is reflected in the art."

"...thanks, Alex. That's just perfect."

I like that pic for Coat of Arms a lot more than the one they're used a hundred times already.

Also, the original Birds of Paradise art was a lot better than what they're using now.

I like the new birds a lot more.

Gotta disagree here, I highly enjoy the Ravnica Birds.

Definitely want the original Giant Growth back.

I am a sucker for 7th Ed birds.

Howling Mine, anyone? The 10th/M10 art sucks, a lot.

Really? I think it looks pretty cool in foil.

[rocketrae21]

why do we care about art for cards that arent that good anyway. howling mine? am I missing something or is that played now?

EDH, sir. Legacy isn't the only format :D

Take your EDH talk to the EDH sub forum where it belongs. Legacy is the only format people are allowed to talk about out here.

[yawg07]

:really: Because the others talking of Coat of Arms and such are talking about Legacy.

Any sufficiently advanced sarcasm is indistinguishable from a straight face.

7th Edition is pretty much the set to look at for terrible art.

Save a few cards (just off the top of my head, Wrath of God, Adakar Wastes), the art from the set made me glad I didn't buy any of it.

[Aleksandr]

but shit like changing "into play" to "on to the battlefield" or whatever and the gradual pussification of the cards' flavor and much the artwork really makes me drift away to nostalgic places where I would play a dude that looks like a painful union of man and machine off of a card with a cyclopian-feeling blood draining machine to play a card that is a close up of a scary pale guy's angry and ugly mug on a crazy alien-looking monster thing with electricity crackling all around it with totally hardcore looking claws.

It doesn't really count as reused art, I guess, but I really wish they'd just used the old art for Incinerate in 10th Edition. I wish they'd have reused the Ice Age art for Disenchant more. I'm not sure I've seen art for Naturalize I didn't hate. Shards of Alara art is the lesser of those evils, so I guess I wish they'd stop reusing the 8th edition art there.
