Now that I am older I realized I am not actually a fan of pokemon designs in general. I am a huge fan of Ken Sugimori though!
Itâs unplayable (except for the hilarious Academy Rector combo) but I like how this is one of the most âI hate youâ cards ever printed.
âTrash your hand and all you have on the table to slap your opponentâ
The Bryan Talbot art is just the icing of the cake.

Oh man Rescue Rabbit
The dignity
Canât it be both?
Terese Nielsenâs art is something Iâve grown to appreciate more and more over the years, and this is definitely the card that will get you the most lands, and I like that.
ACTUALLY I KID, the only good Magic card is this one:
(Limited time offer. Void where prohibited. Limit one per purchase. Valid only in participating duels. This coupon is nontransferable and invalid if shattered, crumbled, detonated, pillaged, or otherwise disenchanted. Cash value less than 1/20 of a cent.)
[adjusts pedant glasses] Actually, that appears to be a very specific (and expensive) answer to alternate casting-cost spells, like miracles and Force of Will.
As an aside, few things delight me more than reams of neural-net Magic cards. They do the exhaustive exploration of already-existing designs that real expansions donât and that I always want them to.
e: Oh, huh, Path of Bone appears to have been Disenchanted.

Thatâs exactly why Path of Bone is clearly the best procedurally-generated card- it only firmly restates a basic rule of a game and ends up having a clear, functional purpose in restricting subversions of said rule. The name is only a few degrees from being connected to said purpose, too.
Wow, thatâs an amazing card
Blacker Lotus, and to a lesser extend the entirety of Unglued, for being genuinely hilarious (I wish theyâd reprint another joke set)
Judgment Dragon, because LS was my first YGO deck and itâs nostalgic
Fluffal Mouse, and Fluffals as an archetype for generally being a fast deck with good OTK potential, but mostly because theyâre incredibly cute
Rescue Ferret, because⌠yeah
Vampire Hunter, because Iâm a huge Castlevania fan, and Konamiâs nods to their game seriesâ are pretty prominent in YGO
Bow of Nylea, because I ran green control back in Theros and itâs a super good utility
I could probably fill pages with cards I like so Iâm going to stop here

I love a lot of the Netrunner promotional alt arts.
I also very much enjoy the flavour text on this card:
Itâs written in ITA2 and says:
âHarbinger: I AM BECOME DEATH
Apocalypse: THE DESTROYER OF WORLDSâ
and also obligatory Princess Space Kitten

The design of those cards just makes me itch. I think because it looks like the from-your-hand card is half obscured by the from-your-graveyard one? I want it out of the way.

Amonkhet has very dubious card design decision in the frame department. The Masterpieces are specially ugly. I mean.

The first time I saw one of these I thought it was a joke.

wow I just looked closely enough to realize thatâs Magic
oof
I thought it was a Yu-Gi-Oh knockoff
You know itâs been a long long time but I still think havenât gotten used to the new border frames. Theyâre still real darn ugly and they look like dated CG now
