Act of Treason

THIS NEW ART IS GROSS AS HELL. WELP CYA 

Dat. Belly. omit:

Pretty nice reprint but dear lord that art.
Eeeeeeeeew.

Welp... I'm never going to look at this card again if I have too.

Art is horrifying.

LMAO. Wizards finally put Vladmir Harkonen onto a MtG card. Maybe they came up with another Baron Harkonen deck in the FFL?

I don't understand. What does a fat opera singer guy have to do with taking a creature?

The guy has Plains symbols (I think), but is clearly reveling in a Rakdos mutilation event of some sort.  That's pretty treasonous to his supposed ideals.

The art is actually... very beautiful.  Look at the flesh - it's really well-painted!

It's the Baron Harkonen- a deck made by (I think, Adrian Sullivan) in 1997. Google it if you're curious for the list or the movie depiction of the character that I'd wager this card art is based on.

It's an Orzhov dude, he's wearing yellow and purple. Orzhov Pontiff

Anyway, Orzhov dudes are probably supposed to handle themselves with more decorum, is the point. Although when a priest partakes in an S&M orgy, can we really be surprised?

But he's an Orzhov priest, Mata. Hypocrisy is to be expected.

Plus, being an Orzhov, he's only loyal to money anyway.

I said supposed to handle themselves with more decorum. Doesn't mean they do.

Although it'd probably be the kind of behaviour the Orzhov would crack down on. You're not supposed to act like one of the people. Say you lent some cash to a Rakdos cultist and they spot you later at a party, how are they supposed to take you seriously?
