there's some really nice art in there... some good visual storytelling (look at Auntie's Snitch) even if the subject depicted is "ugly" (like Stenchskipper, Pulling Teeth).
i really liike Moonglocve Changeling, Chameleon Colossus, and Reveillark. and i think the original Door of Destinies is prettier than the pre-release! my one problem:Grimoire Thief looks like it's upside-down. i know it's supposed to be that way because it's in water, but it just looks wrong. look at it the other way and you'll see what i mean...
I like a lot of the art here. That said, what is up with Redeem the Lost's weird border?
Scott M. Fischer does make a habit of doing weird stuff with his art. Some of his pieces, like Time Stop and most of his TS stuff have weird proportions that make them hard to crop, so a lot of them's left off the card.
I mean, on his version of Incinerate, that's a real candle in the background thatthey lit when they took the picture.

I'm really glad they're reprinting boldwyr intimidator; that card is really fun... I know it's pointing out the obvious, what with the new class-tribal theme and all, but still...

Friend, artist, magic player, but most of all, Polar Bear God. We'll miss you, buddy
Great stuff, thanks for that. Coincidentally, could someone sort the cards by tribe, please? I find that very useful for sorting out my thoughts. Someone did it for Lorwyn, anyway.
Great find! Some of that art is really well done, Guay = Love And it's good to see Mark Zug doing some more too, I miss all of his hard and forgotten work from the Dune CCG a few years ago.
Violet pall, pulling teeth and changeling sentinel are all awesome in the art department
But sage's dousing - WTF? that's one sneeze I don't want to be on the wrong end of - It's blue!
And redeem the lost looks like someone's computer wallpaper slapped onto a card... I disapprove.

With all, put the same thing except with / in front of what type of tags they are (like [/card]) to close them.

I like Stream of Unconsciousness by Rebecca Guay. Warren Weirding art looks fun to me. And Pulling Teeth art is really really straightforward.
Offalsnout = pig/millipede
Weirding Shaman and Warren Weirding have apparently a common visual cue in the violet energy that covers the splitting boggart's halves.
There are some arts that I feel could have been better - Sunflare Shaman, Shared Animosity, Pack's Disdain...but overall, very nice set.
Pulling Teeth - well, what would you expect to see on a card with such a name....
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)

Thank you Bwoneill, great job. I'm still quite taken aback by the quality of art in most recent sets, Morningtide being no exception.

I guess Redeem the Lost is the card that I've heard described as "porn star-like." You can tell the art has a touch of WOW influence. Cool.
