My top 100 Magic: the Gathering card arts, 1-10
The end of the list, or the beginning depending on your perspective. This is it, from 10 to 1, the Magic cards I (currently) like best. Great new cards arts appear with every release, and I’m sure if I were to repeat this a year from now the list would be different. I don’t think the number one card would change though.
10 – Distress – Michael C. Hayes – Magic 2012
9 – Knight of Obligation – Ryan Barger – Gatecrash
8 – Wind Dancer – Cynthia Sheppard – Conspiracy
7 – Elspeth, Knight-Errant – Volkan Baga – Shards of Alara
6 – Restoration Angel – Johannes Voss – Avacyn Restored
5 – Mardu Heart-Piercer – Karl Kopinski – Khans of Tarkir
4 – Swamp – John Avon – Unhinged
3 – Simic Guildgate – Svetlin Velinov – Gatecrash
2 – Endless Ranks of the Dead – Ryan Yee – Innistrad
1 – Cartographer – Donato Giancola – Odyssey
What can I say? I’ve always had a thing for maps. I’ve had my say – what are some of your favourite Magic card arts?
Love the ‘Endless Ranks of the Dead’ art (but I am biased towards the Undead) 🙂
On thing I liked was how in the Innistrad sequel block, they included a sequel to the Endless Ranks of the Dead artwork: https://scentofagamer.wordpress.com/2016/03/27/shadows-over-innistrad-art-review/
