Since it seems to keep being used, I just wanted to point out that the plural for pieces of art is not, as far as common English usuage is concerned, 'arts'.
We should be saying "New Phyrexian Art".
If we use 'arts', then we appear to be talking about multiple disciplines, ie. painting, carving, pottery, etc.
Awesome images though, I am really looking forward to opening some of these in my boosters.

I can't wait until I get home and can check the rest of them that weren't attached. (stupid firewall...)

'arts' has been common parlance on this board for quite some time. shorter than 'illustrations' or 'pictures' and you don't need a counter.

Well, most of these arts are divided between a canvas and digital medium, so I think "arts" is perfectly applicable here.
If Artifact Lands get printed again they would not be as broken as when affinity was around. I would like to see them. Maybe it'll make Metalcraft better than what it currently is: strictly good in limited.
If we have Artifact lands return, the eternal formats will recoil and rejoice at the same time. We've been needing some new artifact lands to make some new deck types more feasible.

Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.
@ the first two arts, I can see that the first one could probably be art for an island, but looking at the second one, despite what the person naming the pic put, looks like it will be art for some kind of nonbasic land imo.
[QUOTE=Kingrames;/comments/5479961]I have no idea what you're talking about. The Phyrexians are the good guys.
They were originally crushed by a big-time evil mofo who killed his brother and destroyed an entire plane of pure white mana, and just now managed to rebuild themselves out of a plane of discarded orphans. They gave all those orphans a new place to live, made them all part of a huge and wonderful family, and now thanks to their efficient and caring government they are all working together to share those gifts with the rest of the multiverse.
Phyrexia is the singularity, the ultimate transmutation of mortality into immortality. There can't be anything wrong with that!

Gonna call arts 10 and 17 Exarchs. 10 is def. blue. I LOVE the sphinx, very pretty. And I love that one phyrexian beast needing to be held back and chained down. So awesome.
The art for this set and block as really gone up in quality.
I hope the NPH lands will continue the panoramas the MBS lands built on.
It's also good to see some inter-New Phyrexia action. The idea that there is conflict between the factions makes it interesting. Too much scary zombie/horror just striking a pose can be boring.
No love for the xenomorph queenish thing being held down by two minions? That art is just SICK!

As much as I'm against the OTT view that this card is going to solo tournaments, cure cancer and make Susan Boyle attractive I'm not really a fan of the opposing camp who think it slaughters puppies and sired Justin Bieber.
I hope I don't have to quote myself anymore. Especially when you posted on the same page, haha.
I LOVE all the sexy art in this block. I REALLY hope they keep it up for the rest of the cards and in future sets. The sphinx, again, is gorgeous.
I appreciate the Neurok underboob. =)
On the other hand, I love how dark and sharp the phyrexians are being depicted. I definitely have a thing for the horrific feel of this last set.
Sorry about that, I had just read through a page mostly devoted to whether or not artifact lands would be reprinted.

I was just playing dude. I was at school when I saw the Neurok chick and there was bad lighting. I really liked what I saw when at first but then I didn't know if it was a dude or a chick. Then I got really close and noticed it was boobies. lol
Half naked Neurok girl and Goblin wielding flashlight swords makes me giggle... Can we get some intelligent Mirrians please?
I'm sorry, I missed what you said because some chick in a bikini and her brother with a flashlight sword are killing my brethren and taking down galactic empires...

I sure hope your ok!
But I have to agree those lands are not artifact lands just corrupted basics.
I certainly am togepi - apologies again for not getting all the images up - there's a tree in the yard that has a new batch of Aura Gnarlid critters - I just want to hugglez them . . .

Some are very creepy feeling, very interesting and creative.
Really looking forward to seeing possible new lands? hopefully something fun. I love how the Mycosynth Lattice looks now.
Thumbs up here.
