I am a big fan of Word of Command, as simple as it is.

This.
Especially RKF. Pillage was always a favorite of mine.

Depends on what you mean by "old" it seems to me magic has gone through a few periods:

A lot of the early painting are very good and some are exceptionally terrible. In general though the new style is more consistently good, but I think it gives less chances for really exceptional pieces to arise.

I love scarecrows and Dringenberg really nailed this one. He's also a fantastic non-mtg artist and his style is very unique.

I really hope we don't go back to the art style that led to Boros Swiftblade. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=83588

The old dull colored paintings were cool and had charm. No offense to the poster above, but cards like Bloodfire Dwarf just have a comic book, super colorful, lustrous, vibrant feel to them... no mysticism. Like... there is no denying that the new Elspeth has more detail and looks like it took a lot more time to make than something like Stasis, Season of the Witch or Guardian Beast, but the old art leaves something to the imagination.

For that matter, if we actually think about our cards battling it out in fantasy land, it gets dumb... seems every random soldier or knight card is a chick. Knight Exemplar, Knight of the Reliquary, Order of the Sacred Torch, Order of the White Shield, Isperia's Skywatch, Wrens Run anything, most of the vampires, Somberwald Sage, Stoneforge Mystic, etc. etc. etc. So a battlefield that we create is scantily clad women fighting grotesque monsters. So what's the big deal, it's a fantasy game that a male demo buys. I get that, but it's just funny to picture the artist making these works like stepping back, turning their head sideways and looking at the art, then with a saliva-consumed lisp talk to themselves and say "I am now going to make your breast plate even bigger tee hee"

It's not quite finished yet, need 2 more cards (Got the portal prosperity yesterday!)

I'll post pics when complete. Ramirez DePietro is the general.

Met him at the Time Spiral Prerelease in Indianapolis back in the day - he actually did it by hand before computer generation took off.
