Looking around on the forums, I failed to find any thread simply dedicated to discussing Magic art, and I thought that was very strange to say the least.
If you want to fume about art trends, point out something weird on a card, compare cards with earlier versions of themselves, post up your favorite Magic art/ artist, or just talk about the art in general, this is the place to do it.
The art in this set seems to be pretty good compared to recent years. They seem a little more willing to explore outside the accepted style. What cards did I miss? And which ones are not-so-good.
