MTG Salvation

We've had all these self creat magic card threads, so I thought, "Why not a good old thread discussing favorite artworks?" -So tell us what your favorite magic card artwork is!


I have two I am hovering around. Blaze has awesome art, but I'd have to give the edge to Orzhov Guildmage. Now tell me your favorite artwork!

Lol. thats an easy one.
Thorn Elemental. Both versions.

In close second is mind's desire.

Loxodon Hierarch.
Glare of Subdual.
All the duals.

And all that comes out of Kev Walker and Zoltan Boros and Gabro Szikszai.

Kev Walker's Llanowar Elves has always been a favorite of mine. Kev and Zoltan Boros and Gabro Szikszai are always amazing. Except Mirri the Cursed, its like he was forced to paint a retarded Mirri against his own will.

For me it's the Opal Archangel from Jeff Miracola

Avatar of Woe and Morphling. I often use them as my PC wallpapers.

I'm not quite sure if this thread actually belongs here - usually it should be in "Opinions and Polls". I'll leave it here for now, but be aware that one-word posts are always spam and will be infracted in this thread from now on.

This has always been the place where people hosted the "Favorite Artwork from [insert new set name here]," so I don't think there's any problem with it. It's about artwork, so all is well.

As for my fave, two that spring to mind are Oni Possession and Ignite Memories. Conflagrate is pretty amazing too. I also very much liked the losing submission for the 10th Edition version of Lord of the Pit, but it didn't win, so.... I was sad. Radha, Heir to Keld and Mirri the Cursed also kick butt. Gosh, there are just so many awesome illustrations and illustrators in the MtG universe...I could go on forever! Haha so I'll just stop here before I think of another artist.

The original serra angel was good, but i like the newest one the best. To be honest most angels have sick artwork.

Jaya Ballard, Task Mage
Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician
...sheesh there's just SO many. Usually anything by Kev Walker. His work is amazing.

I've always lked Skywing Aven.

My all time favorite is definately Ron Spencer's Lightning Dragon.

Honorable mentions would include Sliver Queen (also by Ron Spencer), Ohran Viper is really nice as are a lot of other cards from Coldsnap.

Goblin Piledriver for me. I love the look on the guy's face. Matt Covatta knew what he was doing with this piece (flavor goobs know best)

Akroma, Angel of Wrath. But there are too many great pieces for me to name them all.

EDIT: Especially the recent land art. John Avon's Invasion Forest and Richard Wright's Ravnica Plains and Swamp come immediately to my mind.

I love the art to Parallax Dementia, as well as Keldon Marauders.

My favorite artwork on any card is Mage's Guile

Yea i actually have to agree with Dralnu, Lich lord. But as I said b4, orzhov guildmage still tops that.

There are so many good pieces of art done by many of those magic artists. I do however, love my foil Faceless Devourer, which I hope to get signed.

At the moment, Life Burst still holds the most awesome art of all for me. Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai are definately on top for art too.

Most fun to play and see is still Eureka. How can you say now to that awesome smile.

My personal favorites are Nova Cleric, the Forest art by Stephan Martiniere, and Invoke the Firemind.

I can't really say what my favorite artwork is. There are just too many to choose from. I feel like every set, there are at least a few cards that I look at the art and just think, "Wow, that's amazing."

If I had to name a few cards, I'd probably go for something like Angel of Despair, Chrome Mox (yes, I actually really liked the art), or BoP (both 7th/8th and ravnica), but there are just too many to choose.
