I can't take any of the pearl clutching seriously when I haven't seen any one of you pearl clutching about scantily clad females. In fact it's hypocritical to be calling for more semi-naked ladies while complaining about a man without a shirt on which is much more common irl than women running around in war bikinis
How is it hypocritical? What if I want more scantily clad people on both sides? Peronally I'm not "pearl-clutching" for less scantily clad males, I want more of both!
If you're looking for soft core porn and near nude models there are other websites for that. We don't need to sexually gratify anyone with a 13+ card game. That's not what this game is for. If seeing a male character with a shirt off means you feel entitled to near nude women in a card game meant to be acceptable for children then idk what to tell you.
And so the hypocrisy tables are turned, so to speak. If you find near nude people in art, male or female, like Harald (or Jorn, or countless others) to be "sofct core porn" and detestable, why didn't you complain about him too?
And if you think displaying the human body necessarily implies a sexual, pornographic connotation, then I don't feel any shame in calling you and people who think like you puritans. That's literally what puritans thought. The OG pearl-clutchers.
I think I've learned to treat Magic cards like baseball cards: keep 'em in a binder in numerical order, don't play with 'em, try to finish the set and just keep my head down.
Perhaps I am merely a statistical outlier but I don't worry very much about the art one way or another.
As to the card itself....an uncommon 3/2 menace for only 3 mana that can net you another creature--or even a Tyvar planeswalker--is a good deal, especially when it has two decent tribal types attached to it.
I'm not interested in having this conversation over and over. This pops up all the time on this site and it's incredibly tiresome every time. If you guys want to look at near nude women you have the ability to do that elsewhere. It's not unfair to you that you don't get to see much cleavage in a card game for 13 year olds.
I like that they are making some powerful utility legendaries at uncommon. I hope to see more to add to legends matters commander decks to make them run smoother.
I actually think this card is probably good in Modern G/B Elf lists that were already running Shaman of the Pack, probably no more than a 1 of but being able to draw into another sentinel as opposed to a random card like Visionary would give you seems good enough.

I agree. As long as the art is good, I don't care if the figure on it is sexy or not. Why can't we have some attractive figures in magic? As long as the card isn't doing something sexual in the art, who cares.
