Ultimate Masters

Vengeful Rebirth by Seb McKinnon

Ultimate Masters full visual spoiler appeared on Wednesday.  It is full of tasty reprints and lovely alternate artworks of favorite spells, but one caught my eye more than any other.

I have heard many times that fans of the game would like to see Magic return to the charming art style that attracted so many people to the game twenty or more years ago.

This illustration is a step in a good direction.  I would like to see more of this less-cinematic art direction a lot more often.  The game needs to be infused more obviously with this sort of fine work.

@wizardsmagic never listens to me... but if you agree then maybe boost this sentiment.
