With such a huge quantity of beatiful cards,like Ethersworn Shieldmage, Enigma Sphinx or Maelstrom Nexus; they go and give us Igneous Pouncer as a wallpaper? Seriously?

And I'm on Magic Arcana. How about you?

It's actually really nice art, and a lot of the public has come in favor of it when it was previewed. Not the card necessarily, although that is a nice body for a cycler, but because the art matches up with the idea of the card. Naya Hushblade, Vedalken heretic, etc., are cards which are both good in their way and have great art to accompany them that have received popular praise, so will get WPs. So write to MTG and ask for a wallpaper, or make a list of cards you'd like WPs for, rather than complain about what you actually got.

Presumably, first, they read these forums, so they should see you talking about it. There doesn't seem to be a specific address you're given to message WotC about the Wallpapers in the Arcana, so I'm guessing my suggestion was off to begin with.

I feel like the second two might be puzzle wallpapers in the minisite, but I don't know. Anyway, the art is great, its perfect for the card, but I don't want it on my wallpaper. Can I please just have access to an database (not likely :P )? Or how about weekly polls about the next wallpaper or something?

That's a pitty, and not really hard to solve. If you guys at WotC are reading this, please, consider the idea...

Minisite puzzles were Knotvine Paladin, Slave of Bolas, and Drastic Revelation.

Sorry, but the critter in Necromancer's Covenant that looks like it's coming from around the arch looks like the hostess at a restaurant asking how many are in your party.

I hate the fatpack change. It used to be so well-balanced: 6 boosters and the novel. Excellent. But now... I don't want the two extra boosters, I want my novel! I can see how some books can't be in a fatpack, like the planeswalker novels. But Alara Unbroken, and I guess the Planeswalker's Guide to Alara to a lesser extent, have to be in the fatpack. Please change this back. I'll start buying fatpacks again. I even resisted the golden die that goes with this fatpack. That's how much I hate the current fatpacks.
