What do you mean he's an Imp? MtG has Gremlins, doesn't it?
There's no way they're exclusively a Phyrexian thing, that'd be...
Only two in the game AND they're both Phyrexian?
You're fucking lying.

That IA Counterspell helped spawn my lifelong interest in... black women who look like they're on American Gladiators?
Could be they're the "runes" referenced in the name of the card

We're neglecting the "awesome" Homelands art here guys and galls!
I'm being coy though. There's definitely some very passable art in Homelands

Sentinel of the Eternal Watch and Shambling Ghoul are both really cool, though.

Am I the only one that actually likes digital art?

No. Well. Maybe. It depends.

The new Sentinel of the Eternal Watch is sweet, can't argue that
But... I dunno. The "realistic" / looks-like-any-Xbox-game fantasy art that MTG uses today does not appeal to me at all. Ebony Rhino over Siege Rhino forever. Heart Wolf (Organ-Kean possibly my all-time fave artist) over every Innistrad wolf.

"Reddit is full of idiots" isn't really newsworthy, but this is too amazing not to share:

I'm sorry.

Strolling through Diakonov's classic cube, made me realize this guy needed to be posted stat:
This is a card where the older, darker, printing just makes it look even better.

What did you say to him?
I think it was more the way you said it Pyre. MTG Salvation has a pretty hostile undertone which I think a lot of posters have become desensitized to.
Regarding the art on naturalists…. I think it's one of those pieces that is quite polarizing (maybe most art is, i don't know). Without any context, I showed that card to my gaming group last night. One guy thought it was amazing. Another guy thought it was really bad. Two others didn't have a strong opinion one way or the other.
I think if you dislike CG style art in general, you probably won't like this card. I actually tend in that direction a lot of times, but something about this appeals to me. The vibrant green is very attractive to me. It also has a surreal quality about it that reminds me of World of Warcraft (something I have fond memories of). Is it my favorite piece of Magic art? Definitely not. But I like it a lot and will very likely slot this in my list (replacing Wickerbough probably who I feel is and always has been pretty interchangeable with Stomphowler who Naturalist is an upgrade over).

the hostile tone is because there have been exactly 0 good ideas discovered on mtgs in the last decade, which is why there have been exactly 0 good ideas discovered on mtgs in the last decade

the only good thing I've seen on MTGS was the neural networks thread, which could have been anywhere
