A Part of Pride

Death to closets! Death to monochrome colours! 'Tis the iridescent Month of Pride! This is when the folks breaching culture and conformity express themselves in any (legal and reasonable) way they please. And of course, for the card-loving community of Magic, this is often done through gameplay.
This thread is about just that! For the nonbinary, nonheterosexual players out there, with what cards did you commune? Are there characters, artworks, storylines, or other things which speak to your rainbow-hued heart?
Tell what you wish. Comments of enmity or derision are unwelcome in a month of welcome.

As an Ace (asexual), I've gravitated a lot toward cards with a bond between characters and dogs/wolves, since that is my family (huskies). In particular, Tolsimir Wolfblood, Armored Wolf-Rider, Hound Tamer Flip, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds. And I don't know much about her backstory, but I'm very drawn to Freyalise. I'd love to cosplay her sometime.

Nonbinary and bi, and while I know the art tends to be very dark, I love pretty much anything drawn by Seb McKinnon. I really like the ethereal style and the ambiance that his work creates. One example being his art for Enchanted evening -
For some of the lighter more recent stuff, I really enjoyed a lot of the art for the recent Kamigawa set (especially those full art lands, which have become my definite favorite land arts).
I also tend to like some of the more mischievous looking cards like Goblin Sharpshooter which is a part of why goblins are my favorite tribe.

Massacar that picture is GORGEOUS!! i look at it and i think Bitterblossom goblns are also my favorite tribe and my favorite of the tribe is simple and pointless but the flavor text has always been my favorite, maybe its the metalhead in me but Raging Goblin is my dude!

Bulldawg1310 hell yes fellow metalhead. Goblins, but especially Ravnica Goblins, are very metal.
Also ironically enough the original art to Bitterblossom is made by my second favorite MTG artist, Rebecca Guay

When I was kid, way before I knew how to play the game, my uncle gave me a bunch of random old MTG cards. My favorite was
I didn’t know what Non-Binary was, nor did I know there were other people out there that felt the same way I did. Instead, I found a hint of these feelings in this cool, genderless, mechanical badass.
Years later, I now work with High School and Middle Schoolers and it is so awesome to see other kids just like me finding and supporting one another in a way I could only dream of only a decade ago.
The most resonance I’ve had with a card in recent years is definitely
I love this art. To me, it represents the pieces of you that fall away and change over time. I’m still growing and exploring my Queerness and with it, the false expectations others have spun for me, as well as the ones I constructed myself, have slowly fallen away and exposed glints of a true beauty I was always meant to be.
