For the ELEVENTH time in his life...seriously, Grakk needs to find a new day job.

Now, personally, I rather like this illustration and its accompanying flavour text, but I have to agree that it would be refreshing with a change of pace.

Mind Rot, Naturalize, Negate, Pacifism, Serra Angel, and Fog are all apparently NWO core set staples.
I feel like this doesn't really need that much adjustment in terms of art. New art is nice, but this is probably a case of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it." Unlike Naturalize. Naturalize needs new art.

In protest for having the same damn art and flavor text since 8th edition, I will personally eat every copy of this I come across.

I was hoping they would use the Akroma art, or something else. Wizards, I AM DISAPPOINT.

It's weird that they chose that art yet again. It's instantly recognizable, i'll give it that.
And by now somewhat nostalgic for some people as well, me included.
In general, i prefer it when a consistent reprint keeps the old artwork (in Core Sets and Duel Decks, at least) instead of getting a new artwork over and over again.
Yet i agree, Marilyn "Grakk" Manson and his armed cartoon mouse ("armed" as in "body parts") could use a break.
I can see why they wouldn't want to use the one with Akroma (or the one with Karn) in M14.
I don't know why they never use the 7th Edition one. It's the most straight-forward take on Pacifism.
But, you know, they could also just have one of their artists make a new artwork.
Which they can use for the next ten Core Sets.

I used to have an Onslaught pacifism. I don't know what happened to it. But it was a really nice art and was loaded with flavor. it made me want to use the card. This.. This art is so dull. And the flavor doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. You can feel warm and fuzzy while still being a blood thirsty murderer. I can't imagine why they would keep using it.

Should be a lot stronger when cloudshift / restoration angel rotates out.

This art reminds me of Johnny Depp for some reason.
Especially fear and loathing in Las Vegas.
