Quote from DokuDokuH »Guay's art style never adapted with magic - she's from the era of $50 comissions for card art, before art direction was a thing, and before style guides were a thing. Worse, every piece she does is the same. Her fans are largely old-time players that also hate the new frame and all the other good things that have happened to magic visually in the past 20 years, and they are a vocal group on the boards XD. Thankfully, Since Jarvis took over as art director, he's brought on more talented artists (and yes, more digital artists) that fit the look of magic more.
As someone that collects a lot of cards for their art, I wish that instead of a boring/sloppy art like this one, we could have given one of the newer, incredible talents a chance to take on a classic. Hell, the art that guay did doesn't even suit the awesome flavor text - Where are the wings of light? the sword of faith? the fury? Guay's piece looks like she took her standard reference model and added wings to it. Pure garbage, and such a wasted slot.
I would have much rather seen it done by Aleksi Briclot, Igor Kieryluk, Daarken, or even Deruchenko Alexander (who has only done Abbot of Keral Keep so far) do the piece and give it some real personality.
No offense but I can't take you seriously.
I started with RTR and I find her art great in the same way I find Terese Nielsens art great. Speak for yourself.

I don't really see Planeswalkers as Human or Non-Human, it's really about the character. My favorites are Jace and Tamiyo, a human and a Soratami... but I tend to prefer humans in general because it means I can get beautiful men like Jace on cards I feel bad for our friend Angrath too though. Blacksmith Minotaur definitely sounded like a Theran for a moment. Then again, he's too intelligent to be a Theran one.

Just a logo anyway I suppose. Make good products and it won't matter to me. Ixalan for example sold well regardless of logos. But it is awkward.
