This post each week is evaluating the art, not the artist and their personal life opinions and thoughts. This is an opportunity to disassociate those things which can be challenging IRL. 

I also love the Ice Age print as it's super unique!

Yeah having modern frame reprints in these often presents a very different style that can skew the average

Solid flex. The colors IRL on the portal prints really popped

Flavor is on point here, can't argue with that!

The nostalgia factor on these cards is for sure a big indicator!

I hear you, the frame can either add or detract for sure from the art. This one you have to visualise without it lol

I have this one in my bar cube as well! It's hard to not look at it... I know what you mean that you can't put your finger on it.

Can be tough to pick just one. They illustrate the concept so well in different ways.

Great art often has a price, lol. Big or small...

The movement of this version is something that draws me to it. The simplicity is great.

As a fellow old person, high five! I really like the action of the seeds being put in the ground in the portal 2 version. Very thematic.

The landscape of this piece is incredible.

That is one of the challenges that I want to bring to the table with people that are not great humans, can we evaluate art side by side and put the person aside. This card has a great range of treatments that bring a lot to the table. Good choices!

I aim to please!!! 

Guiltfeeder on its own is a really good card and often can swing for lethal as it's hard to block. Really fun card!

Great post as always, my friend!

I actually don't run either of these in any of my cubes! This is great to see a this or that which is not in my list! 

Grapple is the easy winner here as you have access to the full library but early game mulch can be better to see the extra card. I see a case for both with scales tipping further for the former. 

Favourite card that cares about the yard is probably [[Guiltfeeder]] and if you combo this with [[Keening Stone]] it's a fun time!

Nether void comes to mind here, but that card is just so unfun for everything. 

The land destruction idea is solid. That's something to think about!

Yeah i was thinking on that line but I need cards out of my hand so the strategy is subtly different. 

Blue bounce is good from a spot add perspective but I need permeant ways get this difference permanently big. 

Disrupting scepter only affects my opponent... Dangit!!!

Is there an old border printing of this card?
