Contract From Below
Here’s a fun one: A card banned in every format including vintage. Yes that’s right out first ante card. Also arguably one of the most powerful Magic cards ever printed.
Original art by Douglas Schuler:
So Schuler is a guy we’re going to see again so I’m going to take a moment to point out something about his art. Sometimes he uses really weird textures noticable here mainly on the contract itself. It doesn’t quite look like paper does it? To me it look a little like rubber. I’d also like to point out the text of this contract. it’s simply the final agreement, indicating there are other pages of this specific contract. All in all I’m not a huge fan of this piece. The colors are weird and its composition is super obvious. The card is certainly powerful though.
