I like both artworks.
The old one is colorful and immediately recognizable as "that particular damn doll".
But this one looks just as remarkable, and very sinister. On top of that it is depicted as animate here,
which does make sense since it can attack. Which just adds to the creepyness factor.
Also, for any of you out there who already maniacally laugh when they cast Pariah on this:
Consider running Tarnished Citadel. It has a ridiculously high toll of 3 damage for producing mana of any color -
and your opponent will get a taste of that! And it can be easily done by just switching out some of your basic lands.
Even if you're running a monocolored deck, the damage output you get each turn through this painland is marvellous:
Bolt your opponent while producing mana - now that's something!

Please help
I have had 2 different clans of players tell me two different "Absolutes" about stuffy doll (used without other cards).
1. when it blocks, no matter how much damage can be dealt by the attacker, stuffy doll only transfers 1 damage to "chosen player" because that is the maximum damage a creature with 1 toughness can sustain regardless of the power with which it is attacked.
2. Whenever Stuffy Doll is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to the chosen player.. meaning the damage dealt, not received ...the damage dealt is equal to the strength of the card attacking stuffy doll therefor the total amount is transferred to the "chosen player" not just the 1 damage from S.D.s toughness.
i DO NOT just need to know the answer but I NEED to be able to PROVE, beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the true way- because I have a deck full of stuffy dolls and cant keep switching back and forth every time I get with a new group.
UPDATE: I called Wizards of the Coast and they were... (see all)

This guy is also weak against "infect", Black Sun's Zenith, Tragic Slip, Mutilate, Oblivion ring, Revoke Existence, Dismember...
Indestructible is a very misleading ability for new players. Part of the 3 most confusing abiltiys..
1) Hexproof... Why is your wrath killing it!!!
2) Indestructible... Why is your -X/-X killing it!!
3) Protection... Why does this die to wrath again?? hes protection from white!!!
Its still a very good card. Hard to win against if you dont have an answer.

@crafts
No, he would do 1 dammage to the chosen opponent. Thanks to trample, the other 9 goes straight to your face.

Goes pretty nicely with the Inquisitor's Flail. It deals double the damage, and receives double the damage. With one flail, you could be dealing 4 damage a turn. With two flails, you'd be dealing 8 damage a turn.

I threw together a deck around this guy like 5 minutes ago. I haven't played it yet but everyone tell me what you think:
4x Stuffy doll
4x Shivan meteor
4x Pariah
4x Obelisk of naya
1x Garruk relentless
4x Lightning bolt
4x Dawn charm
4x March of souls
4x Wear away
4x Aftershock
4x Mwonvuli beast tracker
1x Sunhome, fortress of the legion
4x Kher keep
5x Forest
5x Plains
4x Mountain
If you're wondering why there's a Sunhome there, it's so that you can give your enemies double strike when they are blocked by stuffy.

On one hand, Stuffy's back. On the other hand, he's got lots of pins.

The old art was so much better...
Oh well, at least he's back!

Okay, this is one reprint I am not happy to see. I hate hacky sack decks.
EDIT: I just pulled one. I guess it's going in the deck with Magmatic Core and Shivan Meteor.
