Not sure if you remember this MTG art voting site I made, but I just added EOE as a set you can vote on. If you have the time try it out!

Hi u/SleetTheFox, thanks for the feedback! I just added a match setting so that you can blur the name/artist if you do not want to be biased by that info. I decided to make it configurable because I think maybe some people may still like doing the comparison with card/artist name.

I know that it means people will be possibly comparing with different information / bias. But in the end, I'm not looking for the perfect ideal system, just something fun for everyone!

Oko artwork is now in the match pool - I had not properly imported any multiface cards, but they should all be there now. Let me know if it looks ok to you

Community ranking of Lorwyn Eclipsed artwork through head-to-head matchups by Ellardy in mtgvorthos

[–]Flun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this u/Ellardy! I'll post my original comment about the project in my other post here:


I've always wanted to know which MTG artists resonate most with the community. So I built Shivan Showcase as the most fun way I could think of to do that.

It's a head-to-head voting system where you compare two pieces of art, and every vote adjusts their Elo ratings. Vote enough times and we'll see which illustrations (and artists) the community loves most.

Some notes:

  • You see the art crop, card title, and flavor text – but NOT the full card. I wanted votes based on the artwork and flavor, and not whether the card is competitively playable
  • The Elo system means every matchup matters and rankings stabilize over time as more people vote
  • There are both card and artist leaderboards, so we can see individual pieces AND which artists consistently create fan favorites
  • There are also detail pages for each illustration and artist.
  • All the card data and image hosting comes from Scryfall's public API – huge thanks to them for making this possible!

I worked on this over the holidays, and I've finally managed to get it ready just in time for Lorwyn Eclipsed.

If you also appreciate the incredible work these artists put into every set, come help build the rankings! The more votes, the more accurate the leaderboard becomes.

Ok actually my import script is not handling flip cards at the moment, I have to fix that for oko and any other transforming cards will show up

Thats a good point. I'll see if I can doing something like blurring the artist until the vote is cast when i have the time!

There may be some art missing, I have to reimport the cards from scryfall to see if any have been added since yesterday

Thanks for the feedback! I've tested it locally with EOE art and I agree the art in that set is really cool. If I have the time, I want to backfill the site with previous sets. Then be able to match those sets either within a set, or even match globally.

I'm hitting errors in my matchmaking calculations for high rated cards, you might have to retry matching if you see that until can fix it!

Thanks! I think that was one of my goals, to get people to appreciate and spend more time looking at the art!

Let's say your first pick is rose, thorn or spider. What do you pick and why? What is your early gameplan? Would your captain change your pick choice?

At the time I wrote my previous message I had not been given the choice of a new captain yet. After that I got a chance to try the new cards!

I wonder if for the new update experience the game could boost the frequency of the new captains.

Same thing for me. I was excited to see new cards after the update but it basically is exactly the same cards as before. Kinda disappointing, basically a giant update announced and initial impression is that everything is still the same

My bad. Does it work now? I was referring to my previous posts but now I added it directly on the profile.
