Twinflame Tyrant (FDN) features the best dragon art in years in MTG! Change my mind
Dunno about you fellas but this new guy 'Twinflame Tyrant' from Foundations is just dope! I'm not really into two-headed beasts but Xabi Gaztelua delivered a true masterpiece with his artwork like we have not seen for a long time in this game. The dragon and the setting look just damn epic, and of course, the card's ability isn't bad either. Much respect to the artist! :24gold:

Seriously though, why in blazes has artwork for dragons in MTG always been so... meh? I understand tastes regarding art differ but come on, dragons are supposed to be epic and terrifying creatures - at least those based on Medieval European lore. However, cards reflecting this properly can be pretty much counted on the fingers of one hand.

Like what do we have really top-notch so far? Ancient Hellkite (M11), Crimson Hellkite (MIR), Flameblast Dragon (ALA), Hellkite Punisher (M21), and Kargan Dragonlord (ROE). That can't be everything!

High time the design staff get in gear and come up with more specimens that really take off in terms of their artwork! Just saying.

Good god yeah I remember Shivan Dragon back in the early days of Magic. We used to call it the 'plastic maggot', it really looked like a mongrelized monster caterpillar, LMAO

But then master Donato Giancola came and dropped that bomb in 7ED and all of a sudden everyone wanted to have one in their deck as it looked so gorgeous!

ah yes, I totally forgot about that guy. Especially the version by Joshua Raphael looks epic!

If you search for drake and dragon type, there are almost 500 cards, some of them have really cool artwork.
