Goblin Rabblemaster? I've always kinda liked his art.

Also, the card art on Barrage of Expendables is so more detailed than I thought it was!

(I just saw this deck in some folder titled 'Miscellany' so I checked it out and saw this).

Also, Last Word is one I like. Polymorphist's Jest may also be a consideration.

What do you consider to make a card's art good?

Bovine073,
Yeah those are fun.

I'm not really sure what I consider, I've just been gradually putting up the stuff I like best. I guess I kind of ask myself "Would it bring me joy a year from now if I had to look at it every day?" Looking at my fav's, I notice they're all pretty realistic-looking and they're all very dramatic. But I don't really know.

VeaulAgaul,
Yeah, his Lands are almost all amazing! What are your favorites?

I think mine may be his Unhinged Island and the Promo Savage Lands.

You're right -- Demolish is pretty sweet too!

clayperce My very favorite art is definitely Grove of the Burnwillows from future sight. Some of my other favorites are Bitterblossom, Enter the Infinite, Rebecca Guay version of Path To Exile, Enchanted Evening, and Gilder Barin. Lorwyn and Time Spiral blocks contain most of my favorite art.

Eastwestian33,
I'm not a huge fan of the Grove, but I'm with you on the rest!
Thanks for dropping by and especially for staying to comment!


Adding some links for future readers ...

Also, I just got a close look at Vexing Shusher; very fun!

clayperce Vexing Shusher's promo is really cool.

Eastwestian33,
Ooooh yeah, that's really neat: Vexing Shusher. And made even better since TCGplayer mid for the foil promo is less than the normal non-foil card!

frogkill45,
Yeah, Silverskin Armor is a good one

I don't think I've really noticed Mindshrieker before, that's a great one too!

Plus, it reminds me of Baleful Strix!

Thanks!

Eastwestian33,

Hey, I just recently got a Winterflame, I remember seeing it on here. It's amazing. I ordered a foil one lol.

As for art, I noticed while playing my Gahiji, Honored One commander deck (I actually just changed it to Rith, as I had one of them in the deck), that in the background of Krenko, Mob Boss, there is the exact card art from Krenko's Command. I thought it was pretty cool.

Also, in the background of Unquestioned Authority, there is Fblthp from Totally Lost.

Hope you enjoy

I've always thought Rescue from the Underworld was an awesome piece. I've tried to find a high res version to print on a playmat but I never had any luck (admittedly this was a while ago). I'm a big Raymond Swanland fan, so a few of my other favorites: Breakthrough, Cabal Therapy, Despise promo, Diabolic Revelation, and Lightning Helix.

Sweet "deck" concept you have yourself here! ;)
