Archwing Dragon has the best art. It has a good sense of scale and a great sense of proportion with how the dragons neck is arched. I appreciate it very much when artists take sense care in their artwork.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
I'm going to say Descendents' Path, which was a pretty risky submission but seems to do the job of conveying a difficult concept. Bonus points to Terese for putting an actual picture of her ancestors in.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
Descendant's Path is a refreshingly original yet still card-appropriate choice of artwork.
I'll go with that.
Honorable mentions Nightshade Peddler is extremely photorealistic in the best way possible. Diregraf Escort has really good lighting. Joint Assault just seemed decent to me until I realized the two were holding hands. Awww.
Wolfir Silverheart is pretty majestic, so that gets my vote. Descendant's Path is definitely nice and interesting, but it's also a little too busy. Too much stuff is going on.

I don't always post about Rafiq of the Many, but when I do, I cardlink to the original artwork, and not the supplementary product version.

Thunderous Wrath gets my vote. That's a very angry thunder cloud.
I'm not really a fan of Red in this set. White has some amazing arts here, but I feel that Red kind of got the shaft.

I always felt that in Magic, abstract art belong best to enchantments than any other card type, and this one hit the correct points.
