I'd take the worst art from Tempest block over the bland, conformist CG art direction that WotC has been mandating for the last half a decade any day.

I think he's upset that it doesn't fit the style of most of the other (especially recent) cards. It's cartoony rather than "epic."
Even so, I'm with you guys, that card's not bad at all.

Remember, A/B/U was the time five mana could get you: a 3/5 (Ironroot Treefolk), a 5/4 (Water Elemental), a 4/4 Flying (Air Elemental), or a 4/4 Flying Vigilance (Serra Angel). It was also the time that a one-mana instant would either deal three damage, heal 3 life/prevent 3 damage, get 3 mana, give a creature +3/+3, or draw 3 cards. For that matter, the set that gave us Phelddagrif also gave us pic related, which also has badass art.
Point being, the "problem" with old-school Magic is that balance was all over the place. But that's fine if you're just playing with friends, which is what made the game popular.

I got a foil swamp from Kaladesh that looks like shit. It's dark and you can't really see anything.

The Foglios are hot garbage who produced terrible artwork, and REALLY cringey lewds, and are mostly worshipped because of a terrible webcomic these days.

Fuck 'em. Phil in particular is known for spreading lies and drama whenever things go poorly with his books being published because he can't into reading contracts or hiring lawyers.

Flapdoodle's work resembles, but is legally distinct from, Foglio's.

That Hippo is an EDH powerhouse.
A 4/4 for 4 isn't too bad (survives Bolt), and it has a bunch of good keywords on top on that. His power comes from politics; pay UUU, target player draws 3 cards. Someone close to dead? Medic-hippo to the rescue. Instant-speed chumpblockers or sacrifice fodder for all your bros.

Not only that, but having a Bant coloured commander that doesn't advance your boardstate, but rather others, makes you a lot less of a threat than someone with a Narset for a commander.

People are allowed to like different things kid, nobody's going to think you're a puss if you just agree to disagree.

>>50887951
I'm not talking about you liking his art, kid. I'm talking about you defending him regarding the lawyers shit.

I dont mind the style they use but there needs to be some fucking variety even that excessivly realistic finger was a blessing after several years of every card being in the exact same fucking style.

I will take literal crayon scribbles if it means some fucking variety in the style now.

I remember when i opened my first pack i opened a vampire i forget the name of and thought man paying 2 life just to fly for a turn does not seem worth it.

New art isn't often bad, but it is really fucking lame. I would prefer to have some Foglio or Stasis-tier art just so we could have some Hoover and Nielsen.

Nah the USSR was working with the Nazis for a notable chunk of time. True it was for their own self-interest but Stalin did consider Hitler to be an Ally in Europe. Also checked.

I trudged through that awful Zendikar book because Nissa was a jerk-person in a universe of boring people and cartoon villains. Spent years hoping for GB Nissa, or fullHitler Nissa, or reluctant ally Nissa.

There is no such thing as good MtG art. It's managed to do the impossible and be completely unique, uninspired, and bland all at once.

The game has far, far greater problems than brown planeswalkers.

>>50894450

The whole time Stalin was basically shitting his pants in private, because he knew and Hitler knew that their treaties were a sham and that Hitler was coming for them eventually. It was all a stalling tactic to give them time to prepare. Read up on Stalin's inner circle at the time, the guy was terrified that Hitler would break the treaties before they were ready to fight him.

Autists struggle with things like symbolism and metaphor. It's their greatest curse.

My vote for bad art is new Gideon. Something about the shading and coloration of his face makes it look like he smeared poop all over himself. Dechamp usually does good work, so I'm extra disappointed by this.

The angle isn't the issue. The faces are. That's partly because it's just not well drawn or painted, but also because it's ridiculously obvious that the artist has painted over a photo of friends who are entirely incapable of acting or in any way conveying emotions.

why is this one bad? is it too simplistic? The composition looks fine and the whole ferrofluid thing is interesting.

Maybe it's just a bad piece on the actual card?

>>50900397
The ugly colors, nearly-flat shading, etc. The composition is just unintentionally goofy in a bad way.

>>50900404
