I think we can all agree as Magic The Gathering players that some if the artwork in this game is just outstanding; whether it looks inspiring, cool, morbid ect. There is something out there for everyone.
Somthing that makes me happy is that even in the Tokens there is great artwork to be found and that is what I would like this discussion/sharing to showcase.
My example of something I would like to share with everyone is the artwork in the 2/2 Dinosaur Cat tokens generated by Gavi, Nest Warden. I think these tokens are just the most adorable things ever and was so fond of them I actually built an EDH Deck around her and making as many of these tokens as possible.... I dont even play EDH often; I'm a 60 card format kinda guy.
Has anyone else come across a token that just spoke to them for one reason or another?
Awesome! Yup I picked up a b ut nchs of those for a Young Pyromancer deck I made a few months ago I love that art.

Also this is the single best Zombie token and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I wish there was a full art version of this.

I really like that zombie art too!
My default zombie tokens I like are the ones from the 1st Innistrad block... there were a few different variants and i just loved having a bunch of different ones in play at once really giving off the "Zombie hoard" vibe from scary movies!

I was just looking through Tarkir recently for my custom sets and came across this gem from DTK. I love the lil furry goblins.

In my opinion this is what the MTG 30th anniversary should have been... make the Proxies of the old cards randomly in token slots of upcoming packs to be sold throughout the year.... because in a weird way I guess you could say they are selling $1k Tokens (4 booster packs of random tokens).... tokens with original art but Modern looking frames from the front.

Precisely. It would have been the ultimate way to push out "The List". That or printing them in Mystery Boosters.

I remember this art strongly as the first full-art token I ever saw in a Standard set. It surprised me with how beautiful yet threatening it was, and is still one of my favorite tokens.
