I think it's funny (and appropriate) how everyone in my play group now knows who Cliff Childs is, as 'the guy that did the art for Godless Shrine.'

His Island for M2012 is pretty kickass too.

Can be grabbed as a plains:
-Flagstones
-Krosan Verge

Can be grabbed as a swamp:
-Liliana of the dark realms
-Korlash


That's enough to get your combo brains started. There are obviously hundreds of other ways the types are relevant; such as the obvious fetchlands and things..

Rob Alexander is a legend, but the art on this card makes me stop a moment to appreciate it. Also they nailed the flavor text.

I love the stained glass with purple and red hues used in Orzhov cards in this set.

Absolutely incredible art on this one. The original art is still a little better, IMO, but this one is great in its own right, and likely looks much better in foil.

Also, that flavor text...

Purplerooster I actually think I know what you mean :D

All of Ravnica feels very Medieval/Renaissance-y to me, with some of it looking very Russian, some of it looking very Italian, and some of it looking almost French? the Simic and Dimir come across as completely Futuristic by comparison to the Gothic Cityscape.

Orzhov-Flavor is pretty much why Kaalia is my Absolute Favorite Card except Jace, the Mind Sculptor and some other things because nobody really has a single favorite card. :)

The Orzhov and the Rakdos both feel very, VERY Catholic. Obzedat is what can always happen to any Religion: frankly, Religions wield Power in Society, and from the prologue to the Fellowship of the Ring: "9 Rings were gifted to the Race of Men, who above all else, desire Power"
Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
The Rakdos are somewhat blatantly the first 6 or 7 odd Circles of Dante's Inferno, down until Hell Freezes Over.

Magic and DnD are both games, ... (see all)
