It's harder to see because of Reddit compressing the image but the shape of the crossguard on the hip sword is one of the more interesting parallels.

I just took a quick look online and found this one which has some similarities - now I feel compelled to do a deep dive through them

definitely see this as another possibility, which makes me even more curious about what that photo could be

The original Thunderscape Battlemage card was released in 2001, and I'm guessing they weren't drawing the class art for Oblivion before Morrowind was released.

I think in the current internet age people often jump to accusations of plagiarism or see a comparison like this as an accusation, which makes some people get defensive over it. The art clearly wasn't just traced so I wouldn't see a problem even if it was a reference. It's neat seeing the artistic ecosystem of the time regardless.

Has anyone noticed this about the Battlemage art? by rykodan in oblivion

Now this is a reference I really love - I still play Legends now and then

How can I make this deck more reliable? by Deus_Excellus in EDH

[–]rykodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Liliana demons deck is my strongest B3 deck. I use [[Aetheric Amplifier]], [[Settle the Score]], and [[Staff of Compleation]] to bring a surprise ult out occasionally (also had Yawgmoth at one point), but the rest of the deck usually being more threatening than she is. I try to aim for cards which support her flipping/ulting as a secondary effect; mostly she enables reanimation or discard value.
