Title: The Worst Card Art...
Post by: TheDevilMyself on February 23, 2012, 04:07:50 AM
Worst art ever on a card... {Gift of the Woods} both versions.   Was just sorting through my old cards and noticed them.

Yes there is a whole lot of not-great art from 4th edition and earlier but gift just takes the cake for me.  Anyone else have terrible art on cards they'd like to share?

Imo my least favorite card art as of late would be
{sulfur falls} for a dual land im not impressed with its look, while some of the others are soo nice. I think the outter outline should be colored to represent the land type. As in {shimmering grotto} it has gold. I just think lands should have somthing similar.

Umm, the outer outline is red and blue...

I meant where the black border is.  I prob coulda been more specific. But i also meant all the lands as well. No borders. Jus all color. Art like {gavony township} Is really nice.  Sorry kinda off the topic.

Personally I think 4th edition {Animate Wall} does it for me. I mean look at that chick! She's terrified of the most derpy looking evil wall ever!

It is pretty bad, but I think she's animating it actually...

I disagree!  I think {Ekundu Cyclops} is far nastier. You need to look closely though. 😱

Was just looking up Praetors and saw/rembered {Ebon Praetor}. WTF is up with a giant bunny helping a sacrifice. It looks more like a wedding.

I don't really like {Anger} either. It's just kinda... Bleh.

{Counterspell} has the worst art ever. The jacked bodybuilder woman holding some magic, or the Tempest artwork with the mesmerized Disney wizard. Horrendous

Yeah, I don't get what's supposed to be happening in the 7th Ed one either, but at the the Jace DD one is good.

I know! Jace vs. Chandra is the only good one out of all the counterspell printings. None of them make sense.

Edit:
{Celestial Prism} artwork is awful, they didn't really try at all. And tempest in general has some bizarre artwork like {grindstone}, {recycle}, {master decoy}

I'd be a fan of his artwork, just not on magic cards. {Dream Cache} (another Tempest) and {Greed} are good works, but dont really fit the game.

By all accounts Legends has some of the strangest/worse art. And it's not a good set...

{Giant strength} 4th edition is the fugliest thing I've seen. I'm pretty sure Napoleon Dynamite drew it.
