I'm always interested in seeing people's favorite art on cards, so why not have a thread on it? I'm sure this has been done before, but eh. Whatever.
A card that has recently caught my attention is Sydri, Galvanic Genius . I think this style of art is just gorgeous.
So, what are some of your favorite card arts?

Blood Artist (emphasis on artist) just joking. Fetid Heath just looks amazing. It shows a light to dark contrast that really makes the picture alive. You can tell just by the picture that it is a white/black dual land. In certain parts, it has an angelic like feel to it, and other parts show death. All of it combined makes a really neat picture. my second favorite would be Murmuring Bosk .

Mine? Hmm.... Probably Fathom Mage . If I were to get a play mat of any card, it'd be that one. Breeding Pool is also really nice. This is weird. I'm more of a Dimir kind of guy anyways...

New Breeding Pool , Original Sword of Fire and Ice , Bitterblossom , Steam Augury , and FNM Promo Thirst for Knowledge are my Top 5.

All time favorite goes to Make a Wish , but I like just about anything by Rebbecca Guay, Terese Nielsen, and Howard Lyon.
Notably, Dwell on the Past , Lifelink , Silverskin Armor , Perish , and so forth.

Human_Rogue_21, Bitterblossom is my phone background. Beautiful card.

Emancipation Angel
is beautiful.
And on that note, if anyone has foil Emancipation Angel s, I WANT THEM.

Speaking of angels, I think Angelic Overseer and Restoration Angel have to be my favorite ones.

As far as Angels, I think Angel of Flight Alabaster takes the cake.

Firemane Avenger is really fun to look at. A tip from my rhetoric teacher is when looking at art, squint and try to find the parts that stand out. try it out and see where you end up!

My favorite Angel art is Angel of Despair . Angel of Serenity is nice too.

I love most of Eric Deschamps' art (Elspeth, Sun's Champion for example) and RTR Sacred Foundry .
I also like the watercolor-like art on Jace, Architect of Thought by Jaime Jones.

I remember browsing Imgur one day and saw someone post "original content". Sure enough, it was Temple of Mystery . I was about to call the guy out until I saw the comments section. A bunch of people already had. Plot twist: The OP was actually Noah Bradley. That was one cool random encounter.

Seriously? Have none of you heard of Kev Walker? Is this like a Standard community in here or what? Phyrexian Tyranny , Oona's Blackguard , Roar of the Wurm , Ovinomancer , Air Elemental , and Rancor are some of my favorites to be sure. Some other great artists imo are Christopher Rush, John Avon, Brom, & Greg Staples.

None of the cards I mentioned are standard lol. I've heard of him, just not a fan.

oh come on! You like kev walker, but not AEther Snap ! Wrath of God is also awesome, the sun destroying worlds! The opposite with Damnation !

If you look at the cards people have posted you can clearly see they aren't all Standard.
Yes, Phyrexian Tyranny is also a very good looking card.

I love the simplicity of Master Transmuter and my eye is very attracted to the bio-mechanical look. :)
