I like the art better in the FTV Maze, but not the foiling process. I'm running the Judge one for the time being but maybe I'll swap the Vault one in some time.
I like the picture on the FTV Maze more, but I dislike its foiling... I wouldn't pay a hundred Dollars extra just to get better foiling (and a worse picture) though, so FTV it is.
Technically not the same card, but they are functionally the same and I want to cut one: Uktabi Orangutan (Visions) vs Viridian Shaman (Mirrodin)

I had this same conundrum. I chose to keep the monkey for being more iconic. Plus it gets called "Sex Monkey" or "Butt Monkey" on a regular basis. Who doesn't want to cube with a card that brings that much hilarity to the game??
I actually really like the promo art on Mind Stone, and if I was going with a new-frame foil, I'd use that one. Although I'd like an old frame foil with the original art (I hope they do more timeshifted cards again in the future).

I don't think we ever agree on anything when it comes to this thread.
But I think the original art is much better than the promo here.

I like original art Mind Stone the best. I wish we had a foil old border version with the original art. Alas, my favorite pimp version would be Xth edition pack foil. I like the pack foil for Everflowing Chalice as well. The promo art is just weird on both.
I'm probably in the minority, but I'm a big fan of the 7th edition artwork on Memory Lapse. I like it quite a bit more than the old puzzle head artworks or the Mirage version.
Whats everyone's thoughts on art for Goblin Rabblemaster?
I much prefer the art on promo. It doesn't have any horrific giant promo-like symbols on it (like DCI or FNM or whatever), so that's the one I'll be using.
I'm a little late to the ball but I feel like I should offer some support for the prerelease Sun Titan. All the other titans look like giant people. This is fine because thats what a giant is for the most part but there is something inhuman and otherwordly about the prerelease Sun Titan. It looks like a soulless monster that you could never reason with which ups its intimidation factor. Many times cards that look sweet don't do sweet things and the fear is false but this thing is going to barrel down and return dead things to the game whether they want to or not. The others are giants, the prerelease one is pure alien fear.

I actually really prefer the M15 version. I am a little tired of the whole "goofy looking goblin" style of art. The M15 version is darker and a more unique piece of art, in my opinion.
I would be happy either way with the Rabblemaster art. Both arts are really good. If I had to pick just one, though, I'd go with the promo. The art is great and it's a bit easier to see than the dark art on the pack version.
Pack foil Sun Titan.

Mind Stone
WPN Promo Foil vs. Tenth Ed. Pack foil
WPN Promo has the unique art, but I think the normal art looks very cool anyway.
FNM Everflowing Chalice vs. Pack Foil
For which card?
The pack foil by a landslide.

Here's another that I can't decide on: Memory Lapse.
7th ed. Foil vs. Judge/Promo Foil
I wish we could have the Mirage art with old frame in foil, but one of these will have to do.

I like the promo art, myself. It has that goofy goblin art, which is what I want on my goblins.
