Prettiest Card?
General forum
Posted on Sept. 12, 2014, 11:58 p.m. by InnerFlame
Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my girlfriend that she can appreciate si.oly for art. What is the prettiest card you've seen? So far I have the clash pack version of prophet of kruphix.
Just prettiness-wise? The full art promo version of Dictate of Kruphix .
Coolness wise, I like Time Reversal , though.

I really love the game day promo version of Reclamation Sage

Foil Progenitor Mimic is beautiful. I picked up two of them in a trade and it far surpasses the non foil version.

Ah I forgot, the FNM/DCI promo art of Path to Exile and Cloudpost are also super cool. In fact, many of the FNM/DCI promos have amazing, foily art.

Dude. Foil Fumiko the Lowblood is great. I got one solely because it's awesome (I don't play red EDH). They foiled her eyes and the white background. Its so pretty

I think Secluded Glen , Angelic Destiny , and Nyx-Fleece Ram all are really nice. Anything by Rebecca Guay is a masterpiece. Cards like Bitterblossom and Defense of the Heart come to mind.

Foil Baneslayer Angel , man. Also Master Transmuter , Somberwald Sage , and any art done by Steve Argyle (though Daarken will always be my favorite artist, most of his artwork tends to focus more towards dark themes, such as Bloodghast , with Kruphix, God of Horizons and Keranos, God of Storms being rare exceptions).

Zendikar Islands get my vote. Especially this one.

Definitely Vela the Night-Clad for looks. This card is gorgeous.

Foil Ascended Lawmage s are amazing, and the promotional Black Sun's Zenith has always impressed me, however I've never seen one in person.

Omniscience is gorgeous. Every land by John Avon counts as well. I run a flicker bant EDH deck and got all sunsets by him for basics.

Check out the artwork on cards can Terese Nielsen. She does cards like Sydri, Galvanic Genius

@fluffybunnypants Richard Kane Ferguson is my favorite artist. He's put out some really neat art. Which artist/s who put out art in the early sets are still doing it?

Thank you everyone! These are some awesome suggestions

@ aeonstoremyliver I actually don't recognize very many artists anymore. Ferguson, Rush and the Folgios were pretty iconic back in the day, but I don't think any of them are still doing art for WotC.

Foil Noble Quarry or Cavern Lampad . I have the former and it is BEAUTIFUL. The latter I do not own, but Cavern Lampad is already a pretty striking and nice card and in foil I imagine it'd just be the shiz.

I remembered a lot of cards in Tempest that I liked. Any of the Medallions, like Emerald Medallion , Krakilin , Light of Day , Maze of Shadows , Rootbreaker Wurm , Bayou Dragonfly , all the Tempest COPs like Circle of Protection: Shadow , and Avenging Angel .

Iconic stuff, Fluffy. Sad cakes they aren't working anymore. And I agree.

Speaking of Magic card chat-up lines, give her a Sedge Scorpion and say she's more awesome than the Sedge Scorpion. That's a compliment and three quarters!

My vote on the card with the coolest art. Doesn't even need to be altered, the original is just as cool.

For me, probably River of Tears.
Although the whole future sight set was full of beautiful cards, including Grove of the Burnwillows, Lucent Liminid, Blade of the Sixth Pride, Nimbus Maze, Nessian Courser, Magus of the Moon, Venser, Shaper Savant, etc.

Birds of Paradise 8:ed is sweet in foil. River of Tears is nice but the foil is quite weak on that one. (mine was played)

Judge Foil Bloodbraid Elf is pretty, as is Emancipation Angel. Sword of Fire and Ice and Sword of Light and Shadow are both nice from an Abstract point of view. I have always loved the art on Cast Through Time.

Telling Time also a nice one, especially in foil.

Phage the Untouchable because nothing speaks about love when touched with death

Or if you were the type to go balls to the wall: Storm Crow. Definitely a pantie dropper
Terese Nielsen is THE BOMB

An Alpha Black Lotus , many Blood Moon s ago.
Aside from that, Karakas , Price of Progress , Arcane Denial , Dakkon Blackblade , Maze of Ith , Blood Moon , Leviathan , Shivan Dragon , Stasis , and Time Walk have my votes. All original printings. Take a gander at them on Gatherer.
