Interesting considerations, thanks! Yeah I think I’ll just go and get some.

Maybe if you’re playing casually and your friend wants to be annoying!

Hah yes of course there’s that ^^

What is it?

Great news!

I wonder whether there are unions elsewhere in Wizards?

Eternal life through content

In the past I’ve played Mono Red Burn in this slot. Plenty of budget lists are available online and it can certainly win games. These days it even carries a certain quaint charm as classic burn hasn’t been considered top-tier for some time.

That said it ranks quite low in the fun, cool and whacky categories.

Encountered this in a prerelease yesterday. Is a 6/6 for 4 just normal these days? (potentially ramped too)

Yeah search engines aren’t really trying to help us here… Alas, here I am ^^

Thanks for the suggestion!

Does anyone have a textual tldw?

CardTrader seems like another interesting option. I haven’t tried it yet but the idea seems to be that sellers ship ordered cards periodically to CardTrader warehouse, and then you can have them shipped to you in bulk. This is a proper package though so it will cost around 20€. Probably not worth it for a few cheap cards, but on the other hand shipping costs from multiple letters will add up too.

Ohh so these are reprints from some select list?

Yeah consistency in a deck/collection is nice indeed

Ohh so the fancy foils have less problems?

Bending immediately sounds quite extreme…

Special arts are indeed a nice non-curly option for a flashy card. (Until that’s a foil too ^^ )

Searchability is an interesting practical aspect

Thanks for the heads up! I’m fairly conservative when it comes to cosmetics, but these do pack some charm ^^

Personally I’m tempted by cards whose theme touches my other interests. E.g. tea.

There are actually surprisingly many, but luckily they don’t tend to be particularly rare ^^

Do you catalogue all your cards or just the more important ones?

Yeah relying solely on an online DB would seem quite reckless.

Nice finds, Thanks!

Scryfall does have tags for Surreal/Surrealism, but it hardly feels complete. I’m also not sure if MC Escher-inspired cards count as surrealism, but if so that would include things like Bootlegger’s Stash.

I didn’t realize that scryfall had art filters as well. Still seems to find quite a few.

A lot of the art on the Duskmourn Archenemy cards play around in a similar space.

What’s the story of these Scheme cards? They don’t seem to be legal anywhere.

Lastly a lot of individual mill cards seem to have pretty surreal art, like Tome Scour, Millstone, Fraying Sanity, Sweet Oblivion, Mystic Redaction, or Fractured Sanity

Ohh this is interesting! A pattern emerges. The og millstone too.

I really dig the artwork! Are there more surrealist/absurd cards? (Given the sheer numbers, I’m guessing yes)
