i hope that was some sort of joke since the stasis art is great and a classic, while sorin markov looks like every other card these days: high contrast and nonde***.
at least stasis has a unique look, like the other old art pieces that were created before the style guide was cemented into place.

I prefer recent art by far: Playing with cards illustrated like this feels like playing with children's toys!
Also, why is Sorin high-contrast? Extreme sharpness, yes (i can haz WotC printer), but its all black-grey there...

I like the art. Why don't we see such art anymore?

Stasis was a great card. Unfortunately tempo changes in Legacy has really put a damper on this card's competitive playability. 10 years ago this card was a 5 star monster; today I have to give only a 2.5 star "fun" card only.
That being said, I'd really like to see someone try to put this card to good use again.

I look at the art for Stasis and then the art for the upcoming Sorin Markov, and I marvel at how far the standards of Magic artwork have come.

I think there's a reason why this artist only made one card for Magic...

Plop this down with a Venser, the Sojourner, stall the game for as long as you wish, then win.

Penso che la Stasis sia una delle carte che ti permettono, a parte di allungare di molto le partite, ma anche di avere un controllo abbastanza alto del gioco.
Di contro ha sicuramente bisogno di un mazzo dedicato per funzionare come deve...
Combo semplice e immediata e' con Forsaken City, oppure con Garruk Wildspeaker.

Hate this card being used on me, even more so for ridiculous art. It's like "What do you mean a clown and a blindfolded donkey on a see saw are locking my permanents down!" It just makes no sense to me.... I know I know, all you fans of wierd art hate this kind of talk but there has to be a line somewhere. I mean, would you be able to take me seriously if I hit you with a enchantment removal and it depicted a upside down toaster with birthday cakes falling out of it? Abstract my arse. The artist obviously either had no idea what stasis is or was on mad peyote.
