Title: Subtle Card Crossovers
Post by: Spikepit on January 02, 2012, 08:57:28 PM
Ever noticed any cool card crossovers that aren't obvious on first glance? I've noticed heaps, specifically in the artwork, over the decade and a half I've been playing and it always makes me say 'awwww cool!' The prep that goes into the worlds and cohesion of MtG is awesome. For example, the Phyrexian symbol came from one particular card from ten years ago, {Order of Yawgmoth} (look at the scythe), and was revamped for the recent set.

Another great example, ever noticed what {Kabria Vindicator} is riding upon? It's our fav 40 life insta-win, {Felidar Sovereign}!

You noticed any?

Did you read Shawn Main's essay from GDS2? He used the concept of the "invisible teacher" which was strong.
