Chaosphere  's art isn't bad, but the other selected abstract pieces are hands down some of my favorite works on a Magic card ever. Hunter's Insight  has got to be my favorite piece in a set filled with greats, so thanks for blowing it up here! Terese Nielson just gets better and better.

in today's deck of the day, there's a mistake in 1 sb card. it shouldn't be arc lightning. it should be arc trail or another burn spell. arc trail is legacy. it appeared in planechase, battle royale and urza's saga only.

Not to be horribly picky, but 10th Edition's Terror isn't Abstract. It's Macabre and Surrealist, but it is not abstract in design. However, it is a great staple that would look good if placed near Micheal Wolgemut's works.
In my defense, I feel that there is a line between abstracting an object, and actual abstract work. If I hold up a picture of Snoopy, from Peanuts, you would not be calling that an abstract image, even though it is, indeed, abstracted from an actual beagle. In the same way, while the image is an interesting symmetrical image, it is not, really, an abstract work. It would have to deform a lot more for me to consider it abstract, or it's subject would have to be a lot less obvious.
The rest of the works, however, I would accept as abstract, although in Moonhold's case, just barely. That doesn't mean I don't like them all. They all are very appealing. It's just I have a line at where I consider art truely abstract, and not just stylized.

Why do you keep putting Arc Lightning instead of Arc Trail?

I think one of the reasons that particular Terror art is being called abstract is because ever since it was first foisted on us, we've been pointing out that this particular artwork has nothing whatsoever to do with what Terror  actually does.
(Yeah, I know that's a stretch, I just wanted another excuse to bag on that art).

I've always loved the aesthetic of Korean writing. Why isn't English prettier? :P

I'm really, really happy that Magic: the Gathering has made its return to the Korean market as well.
When researching the history of Magic: the Gathering, I thought it sad that Magic stopped being printed in Korean and Traditional Chinese after such a short time. After it recently returned to Traditional Chinese, I was hoping that Korean would also return.
Of course, what matters is how many people in South Korea can afford to play Magic: the Gathering, in order to make the product a success in that market.

You realize it's a 1rst world country with, currently, a better economy than America...and that's it's been played there in English this entire time...
