I am sorry I posted in this thread today.Quote:

If you want to hand out participation awards to everyone who posts in this thread you should try coaching a travel soccer team instead, you'll get a lot more good feels.

The alternate art on those 3 are especially hideous. FTV Berserk and foil Demonic Tutor also comes to mind. Why does Wizards have to ruin perfectly original artwork?

Some of the Tezzy list. Some of the stuff is still in the mail, but had nothing to do on Christmas eve except take pictures of cards :P
If you do still see English cards, they're in the mail, I swear!

This, and also the new-ish art direction means they are less willing to use stylized artwork like berserk and SnT.Quote:

His FB is a gold mine. He's a fan of the old hitler pope:
"For the Catholics, the last Pope who was one... instead of the present 'feel good' pretender who belongs in a different religion... H."
I doubt he would knowingly sign cards owned by non-whites (or gays or atheists). Perhaps best to reconsider giving him any more money to deface cards.
I'm not a fan of FTV/Judge foils, but the SotF looks good IMO.Quote:

Then there are the cards that just flat out look good. The cards that, be they ninety cents or ninety dollars, represent the pinnacle of aesthetics. Survival of the Fittest has one of the best arts of all time, yet they fucked it with... that. Cards like Force of Will, Necropotence, Goblin Piledriver all represent the best of Magic. And they all got fucked. They can't even leave the little classics like Kitchen Finks and Spellstutter Sprite alone.
Off the top of my head, the FNM Bloodbraid Elf is probably the only card I would consider a distinct improvement over the original. Promo art isn't inherently bad. It's just never been better than what it's replaced.
My issue isnt with the art per se, my issue is with the terrible foiling process. If they foiled and framed them like masques foils, I'd be all over it.
I like the idea of taking modern bordered and making them traditional bordered for promo.
Is there much cooler than SOFI with the old border? Or crucible? THOSE should be the updates, wizards should leave the classics be, especially the art.
