Got my dad some old mtg cards on ebay for his 50th
They should make tee shirts off this illustration
Is this official? It just looks too funny lol
It's official, and classic! The first few years, there were not really any guidelines; the artist was given the name of the card (and its color, I think) to illustrate, and that's it.
New players: "It doesn't grant Indestructible, and it's not an Aura!"
Sometimes artists weren't even given the name of the card. The original art for enlightened mystic was supposed to be for another card entirely
It is. Legends was a wacky set.
All of Chronicles, actually
You can buy a print from the artist at least https://markpoole.com/products/indestructible-aura?srsltid=AfmBOorCxaUy2DTXp2QYz1DoCASwaFWnd9VUYzRojghmqaxWhJZ5LCEt
