Wasted Card Names and Art
General forum

Have you ever saw a card with a awesome name or art but the card itself was terrible or the name could have been use better on something else. For instance the name The Unspeakable could have be use on something more playable or at least something with an amazing effect. ):
Can't remember any card arts off the top of my head as it is late, but I am pretty sure there are some out there.
I am building a deck with Chisei, Heart of Oceans . Its a cumulative upkeep deck so its weird, but his art is amazing. Some more I like are Meloku the Clouded Mirror , Cabal Patriarch , Iname, Death Aspect

The first that comes to mind for me is Deathpact Angel . Fantastic art, but not really a good card.

The new Desperate Stand is a big one for me. I love everything in it except where it is in the set and how it interacts with it and what the card actually does. haha

Wasteland Viper looks like a cross between Bitis gabonica and Bitis nasicornus (which have occurred, actually). I dig snakes and love the artwork. Ambush Viper too. Resembles a Bush Viper, Atheris squamigera. Oh, River Boa ... Eunectes murinus and Python curtus.
That is all...

Just recently I drafted Ravnica and remember looking at things like Search the City , Skyline Predator , Guild Feud , Druid's Deliverance , Mana Bloom , etc. It might be that I just love the set but the art is just stellar here.
Oh, and every single card illustrated by Yeong-Hao Han aside from Steam Vents , the legendary artifacts from Theros, and Underworld Connections . Seriously, have you seen Millstone , Minds Aglow , Crackling Perimeter , or Smog Elemental ?

Phelddagrif and Questing Phelddagrif 's art is basically the best thing ever

Oh, don't say that. The Unspeakable is so cool!
Reach Through Mists - Peer Through Depths - Sift Through Sands
U even arcane, bro? Haha

The post directly before yours was made in April.
The thread was made in April.
Necro'ing threads is bad.

Since when? It's a fun topic, there's absolutely no reason for you to say that.
It's so sad to see people acting as police for random insignificant causes, instead of having any kind of fun in life. :(

I think I missed the joke, then...
I just searched for The Unspeakable to see if anyone else was using it besides me, and found this topic. xD

there are so many legendary creatures that I want to build just because of amazing art, but the card overall is terrible.
