Wizards, when I say I want art to look like it did in the 90s, I mean Magic art, not lovely 3D renders.

And Launch the Fleets on modo makes 1/1 enchantment soldier tokens despite the card not saying enchantment at all. Please do not put a Nyx Infusion or Armament of Nyx on a fleet token if you want a 3/3 or a 1/1 with double strike.

I like the new Skullclamp art, but can't really say why, hmm ... I like the 90s cyberpunk vibe, I think it goes well with the flavor of the card

Speaking about art and nostalgia for old art reminded me of a Mirage block draft Conley posted on CFB a week or two ago. He drafted one particular card that I thought had killer 'old-school' magic art, of the type that you never see anymore and I looked up other cards by the artist only to find he's only ever done 2 cards, both in Weatherlight, and they freaking own imho.  I don't know if I'm in the minority on these in particular, but I'd love to see playful (if cartoonish) art like this back in the game, even if I know there's basically 0% chance of that.

I don't mind the art concept, Mirrodin is pretty sci-fi aesthetically, but jesus did it have to look like a screencap from a Fallout 2 FMV?

I think the "clamp" should be more menacing: have it grip the skull more or have the guy look like he's in pain. It's so absent of anything it's boring. And I must be in the minority because I often times like the "higher quality" art that's being currently made. The older stuff looks simple and amateur. I also don't like the old card template, anything after the white border is fine and it's weird Time Spiral cards with the old format is legal in Modern.

Why why whyyy couldn't it have been a Phyrexian version of the Skullclamp.  The best thing from Lorwyn/Shadowmoor was getting Shadowmoor versions of Lorwyn creatures for FNM.

Clamp is pretty good in limited though. You're either clamping to draw 2 (and burying people in CA) or beefing a guy up to trade above his weight AND drawing 2.

I like how the templating is "Whenever equipped creature dies". I know the equipped creature is going to die quite a lot, but it makes it sound like the card anticipates the same creature dying over and over.

I like the clamp, I dislike the head and the background. Odd, Ljunggren normally turns out fantastic art. (Modern frames are better, modern art has about the same number of sweet pieces and a tenth of the dreck that old art had. Sorry if you're wrong about this).

You picked a lot of good art but there are the weird almost cartoony stuff that existed as well that I was mostly talking about. And a lot of those artists have work in the modern frame. I will admit that they usually use too similar color palette now a days for each pie. Most red cards are just fire fire fire.

So with the duals all being reprinted in Vintage Masters would it be a safe bet to dump my ME2 ME3 and ME4 versions and just rebuy them later?

I'm discussing this with a friend of mine, and there's a suspicion they might be mythic, due to the large number of mythics in this set. If they're mythic, dumping might not be wise. If they're rare, though, yeah, I plan to dump.

He sure has a lot of thing in the foreground + smokey/hazy background, but they may be just how generic the keyrunes and staves look. His forbidden orchard is quite nice though.

If they're mythic, dumping might not be wise. If they're rare, though, yeah, I plan to dump. I'm thinking that even if they are Mythic, there will still be lots of fresh ones around due to the sheer volume of packs that will be cracked for power 9. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but is this going to be a "long term" release? Or just a short burst like Modern Masters (which if I remember right was only available in the online store for 2 weeks?)

Yeah most of those aren't simple and amateur; they're still amazingly detailed, probably more so than a lot of modern art. Except for stasis, stasis sucks

His Boomerang is a cool looking thing but I have no loving clue what object, action, or idea it's representing. Here's a blast from the past: Forsythe's Skullclamp, We Hardly Knew Ye accompanying the banlist announcement. To me the most hilarious part is that they didn't put Astral Slide in their FFL cycling decks either. WHY ELSE WOULD YOU PRINT SLIDE

The previous Masters Editions were three month releases, I think. The difference is that 100% of the cards in Modern Masters already existsed in MODO, and a LOT of the cards in VM don't exist at all.

Kasonic posted:His Boomerang is a cool looking thing but I have no loving clue what object, action, or idea it's representing. They genuinely thought it was just a novelty. Lightning Rift was the one they were worried about which is why it costs a whopping ONE MANA to activate! It is the second case of "wow this might be really good. Let's limit it by adding an almost completely negligible cost." The other is Force of Will (and Contagion) requiring 1 life as well as pitching a card. The plus of Astral Slide is now they know to check poo poo like this. It's also why Knowledge and Power costs 4R.

Just coming in to post that I started playing at the Lorwyn prerelease and the fantastic art of that block was what really dug its hooks into me about Magic. Nowadays I'm just a big groggy Spike who is bad at Magic and unable to admit it but at the time it was goddamn sparkly fairy time, bitches and I loved it.

Why to do all the renders of the Conspiricy/VM cards look like MSE cards? No set number info (probably intentional), no copyrights, the text boxes are all faded, and the highlights on the dies/draw/equip text also look like rear end. And "#will of the council#"? Thanks for the hash tag, I guess when they spoil cards they can only use 6 month old mock up now instead of the actual cards.
