Commander Deck Help forum

I'm wondering how viable a commander deck with the tackiest art can be. Vaevictis Asmadi, Lightning Angel, Veldrane of Sengir.
Honestly, I love the old art aesthetic, but if you know of ridiculous art on cards that are playable, but maybe not found at the top of EDHREC, lay them on me.
Are those your colors you are going ?
I will dig for corny or tacky art to help

No idea what the colors would be. Honestly, it's just an idea, but it's not really a set of cards you can search for with Scryfall or EDHREC, so who knows? I'd think that blue would be mandatory, since bad art correlates with old cards correlates with non-creature blue spells being by far the most powerful thing you can be doing.

Also, hejtmane, that nightmare is most definitely bitchin'.

I started looking at this problem of finding cards with old art; I think what you should look for old cards not used a lot
examples Toshiro Umezawa Chainer, Dementia Master
Then look at cards with lots of reprints example Brainstorm if you go to scryfall they have all the pictures by edition Brainstorm or Brainstorm
Oldschool Counterspell or Counterspell
A lot of staples have different art printing and counterspell has even more than that maybe this will help on that journey

hejtmane, thanks. I was thinking about that. I know that I've inadvertently triggered Scryfall to show each separate art in general search results before, so it would definitely be possible to see art that I'd never have thought of. For real, I've never seen that amazing Fifth Edition Nightmare, even though I've opened plenty of Nightmares in draft. Starting with early sets and sorting by EDHDREC popularity would probably be the best way to get a core group of 20-30 playable cards to start searching for complimentary cards for, that way, you could display individual printings in a search without having to look at however many thousands of cards there are, once reprints are taken into account.

triproberts12 first we need to get you a commander ones that I found with old art that look interesting this is just stuff when looking I made sure it had at least blue and black in the colors and went from there but maybe some options for your commander once we get that we can start building around the commander

Man, that's the other problem with old cards, Legends had both some gloriously tacky art, but look at the freaking price tag on Gwendlyn Di Corci. Whether it's rogue tribal decks or 40-year-old men paying tribute to their teenage boners, she's a hot commodity.

Oh, if we're including Howl, it's gotta be the Ice Age Howl from Beyond
