I know similar threads pop up on a pretty regular basis, but it's such a rich topic I wanted to start another.

My personal favorites are at Amazing Card Art

What MTG card art blows you away?

rorofat,
Yeah I especially love the 3D effect on Primordial Hydra. The tree is cool too; what card is that from?

Looks like Helvault, but there is no building on Helvaults art that I can see.... So, either its a rock that looks really similar, or their are multiple helvaults.

Caligula,
Yeah, that's amazing. I've only ever seen the normal one, so had no idea.

vampirelazarus,
Or somebody built a big building and planted a tree right next to the Helvault. And then started hanging people on it. All of which seems like a Really. Bad. Idea. :-)

I've got a bunch of favorites. Winterflame is probably #1. But a zoom on Magister of Worth's right arm makes her a close second ...

My Zendikar Expedition Hallowed Fountain, even though i'm not a fan of those colors. I probably won't even use it unless a new WUB legendary creature gets released. In general, I think mtg is a series that should have a museum just for its memorable card art.

*Not talking about the hallowed fountain in the last sentence. Even some commons in mtg have amazing card art :D

Battle for zendikar has a lot of commons and uncommons i'll keep just for their art :)
