    I firmly believe that the people complaining about the art made their judgment before actually looking at the set, because it’s awesome.

    If Pattern Buffer Preservation doesn’t make you feel something, then you’re just being obtuse. That’s some good fucking art.

    The set overall is totally working for me. Universes Beyond isn’t taking the place of any original Magic storylines. And even if it were, it’s not like they’ve ever managed to stick the landing on their original storylines.

      It’s cards like this I’m complaining about. I recognise the scene where Picard strikes this pose. It’s on the Enterprise’s bridge, it’s bridge lighting, the lighting is different from the background this is set upon, it looks like they took a screenshot of the scene, cut Picard out, laid a filter over him and pasted him onto the background.

        Agreed that one is a little awkward, but I’m sure I could find something in SOS or FRA that’s equally awkward.

        One weak piece from a commander deck doesn’t make it a bad set, art-wise. A bad set would be one with a dearth of good art, and there are so many great pieces in the main set.
