I'm considering starting an art binder, so I figured I might as well make a thread and get some community opinions. What are your favorite cards, aesthetically-speaking? Promos, special editions, anything goes.
Personally, foil River of Tears might be the most amazing card I have ever seen.
There's also Naya Battlemage, promo Bloodbraid Elf, Grove of the Burnwillows, Faerie Conclave, Final Judgment, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, the Unhinged lands, the Time Spiral lands, the Zendikar full-arts, Keening Stone, Eye of Ugin, Eldrazi Temple, Angelic Destiny, Master Transmuter, Pact of Negation, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Tolaria West, and Kaho, Minamo Historian

I've always liked most of Raymond Swanland's art. Especially the Shards of Alara Block, like Banefire and Violent Ultimatum. But then again, I've never thought of myself having an artistic eye. :-P I just think they capture the essence of the spell they represent very well.

Hydras always get the most epic art: the Conflux version of Progenitus, Apocalypse Hydra, Khalni Hydra, Primordial Hydra

if you can, look into getting some of your favorite commons ( or cheap cards with awesome art) altered. They really bring the art to have even more detail.

I'd personally go for Wurmcoil Engine and Myr Battlesphere

i have to agree, with hunter9000. I saw a kid pull a foil Scorch the Fields at the pre-release and it looked amazing...i also really like Moonveil Dragon, and Sorin's Vengeance (mostly because of the flavor text.)

My favorite is Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas . He just looks saw raw and full of unrelenting awesomeness, especially when you see the art blown up without the card text box blocking half the picture.

Strangleroot Geist Promo and non-promo. I plan to get a binder full of the card.

i'd have to say, in relative order from greatest to least: Cyclopean Tomb, Promo Cabal Therapy, Ghost Council of Orzhova, Protean Hulk, Vedalken Heretic, Psychosis Crawler, Skaab Ruinator, Phyrexian Obliterator , Dodecapod, Promo Despise, Root Elemental.
