[TDM] Dragon eye full art basic lands
[TDM] Dragon eye full art basic lands
Just saw these yesterday, what do you all think? Seems like a fun take on basic lands, but it also sort of makes me question what a basic land even is at this point 😝
I feel like green and black would have a really hard time seeing if their pupils were shaped that way. White probably has exceptional peripheral vision though.
The art is undeniably cool, but if you're a purist, these are arguably even less land-like than the THB full-arts.
One of my dream projects that I will never find time for is to make an "Am I Hot Or Not" for Magic lands except you're voting on whether the art actually depicts the thing in the card name. Islands are the worst offenders -- rivers or fountains or pretty much anything with water seems to qualify.
These just don’t look like lands to me at all 😞
The green and black ones honestly don’t even look like eyeballs either. If you didn’t tell me they were dragon eyes I would think they were like briar patches.
I think their ubiquity and simple rules make basic lands good for more adventurous art design. That being said, this one is not really up my alley (I do however love the Nyx and Planet basics). I'm glad they have the Dragon's Presence basics for a more traditional style of full art lands though
