As a huge fan of good stories and having a laugh, I wanted to showcase a collection of the silliest things Magic has decided to create or have been done
Mass destruction by a divine, unknowable source has often been a staple concept in Magic: The Gathering 's aesthetic design repertoire, and Day of Judgment has been a tough card to get perfectly right for many card illustrators, but, like with Natural Order in the #5 spot, Finnstark manages to get the concept nailed just right
It revolves around control -- card advantage and tempo advantage -- and Serra Angel played the double duty of offense and defense each turn
