Similarly to Descendants' Path, this Nielsen art is one of those that almost looks too modern for Magic. Like, if there wasn't a giant bellowing lizard floating above his head, the old man in the art could easily be lying in a modern hospital.
It's still a vast improvement over "two dudes looking at a turtle in a swamp".
Had to go searching for it on one of Rudy's UMA videos on 11/10, but here was the comment:
"Let me give you Spoilers for free: About a little over a month ago i spoiled some of the cards in the comment sections of certain cards on MTGGoldfish. For example after the last Gaddock Teeg Mini Buyout i told people over a Month ago that they should not buy it because it will be reprinted in the next Masters Set at Rare (No Mythic Upshift). Luckily several people listened and thanked me when UMA was spoiled. I did the same regarding other cards that ended up being spoiled. Here is another one that will be reprinted at Rare but with new Artwork: "Defense of the Heart" as well as "Food Chain", both at Rare both with new Artwork. I get constantly updated from someone i know who works here in Europe in a certain capacity regarding card artwork, colour correction, paper etc. Can't be more detailed. Enjoy" - Chartreux
I can see Defense of the Heart and Pattern of Rebirth having similar looking art, so it's certainly possible that the two were mixed up. Would be kind of a bummer to not get Food Chain.
This would've been a great downshift. I want to love this set, but there's too much chaff in the rare slot.
Agreed, another rare slot chaff card. Who was asking for this? Answer, no one.

Because old dudes have never laid in bed before while wearing white?
I get what youre trying to argue but it doesnt jive.

Anyway, the art is a huge improvement
reveillark is in this right
They not attempting to print the boonweaver giant combo in one set are they?
(Art is great but doesn't help the slot occupancy).
