You leave animate wall alone, he's just having a bad day is all....

[brandonbernard]

Kinda crazy that Wild Instincts and Elesh Norn were illustrated by the same person. Every artist has their uninspired days I guess.

[obadijahparks]

I actually like Medusa there... that being said, you're right on the others.

Word of Commands art is brilliant. I think it's one of magics spookiest artworks despite its simplicity. Celestial Prism looks like something straight out of the voynich manuscript since I have absolutely no idea what it should represent. I mean it's clearly a prism but everything about it looks so weird and abstract

Old magic players: "Modern mtg art sucks. 90's art is the best."

Me when I see Word of Command: 😑

[explodinglab]

Insane that coils of Medusa is even on here

[smeagol]

This topic deserves a 1 hour video. :)

[KristianTKenwood]

yeah how dare Igor not draw Nissa with an hourglass figure 🙄 rectangle is an incredibly common body type

[IllegalXeno]

The new variant art for Faithless looting better get up there soon lmao

[WhiskynCigar]

Omg, Word of Command is epic, haunting eyes in the dark....most beautiful in black border...Alpha or Beta

I started back in the day in the Planeshift/7th edition era and remember that Unholy strenght art kinda bothered me but then i realized that whatever was going on there certainly was caused by some kind of unholy power that was giving strenght to that guy so I thought it was perfect lol

Coils of the medusa were made by a child with the help of the make a wish foundation.

Giant Growth’s color composition is wonderful and is my favorite version.

[ExKiwi-ywer]

Hey, animate wall is one of my favorites. rude.
I hope you do the BEST art too, like sunscape master and indestructible aura.

[futurfry]

I love that giant growth art because the scale is up to the imagination

[JonzinBeatzNYC]

Animate Wall is awesome. Old school art was weird and intriguing. Plus, how can you not laugh at a grumpy wall!

[jasonlease]

0:34 Reminds me of Gmork, from The Neverending Story, when Atreyu happens upon him just hanging out in a hole in a wall.

[omahonda]

Ha, ha. I was hoping Celestial Prism would be featured. Easily the worst of all time.

[TheGatorDude]

Take back what you said about the wall!

[sephyrias]
