#8 - Hunting Party



Even though it's a little dark, we love the detail. It's nice that you get to see the hunted animals as well as the hunters and dogs.

#9 - Lost City



Is it the lost city of Atlantis? Something from the Jungle Book? Temple Run? Who knows, but we enjoy looking at it.

#10 - Madman



What's not to love about the eccentricity of Madman? The duck with the eye matching the madman (they say people and their pets start to look similar), the toad, the random skull are all awesome.

#11 - Triumphal Arch



Frequently in art like this, the masses of people don't get much in the way of uniqueness. Not so here. Great capture of the mood of triumphal entry.

Down to the top 10 now.

#12 - Opulent Castle



Reminiscent of the Disney Castle, only much more substantial. This is the castle people dream of living in.

#13 - Village



Here is the most iconic art in all of Dominiondom.

As we were looking at this card, one of my daughters said, "Oh, this looks exactly like the art on one of your game boxes!"

Yes, Dominion.

#14 - Courtyard



Is it Snow White sitting by the well singing Someday My Prince Will Come? We love the placement and depiction, nice relaxing place.

#15 - Cartographer



Absolutely love the way the lighting is portrayed in this picture. Excellent detail on the maps and tools. This is the guy you'd want to make your maps.

#16 - Beggar



This is the start of group A, 16 cards. These are the best Dominion has to offer, heavily weighted by female teenage opinion, of course.

A little dark and a lot of brown. Only a cold-hearted person could pass this guy by without dropping a little coinage in his cup.

#17 - Inheritance



This could be a scene from Pride and Prejudice or name your other favorite Jane Austin-style chick flick. We all love it.

That is the end of group B.

#18 - Summon



We love the elegance of the art. Why the butterfly, my daughters ask? I say, why not a butterfly? It fits beautifully.

#19 - Pilgrimage



The predominance of brown works well here. The random white flower in the lower right is an interesting touch. My daughters want to know where all the gear is. I'm not sure it's a necessary inclusion.

#20 - Rebuild



I'd never paid any attention to Rebuild's art until now. It's very good. We love the detail including the giant broccoli stalks in the lower right corner.

#30 - Overgrown Estate



The two dandelion flowers look like eyes.

Someone is getting paranoid.

We are witnessing the collapse of the human mind under the stress of the never soon to be finished ongoing series of ranking the Dominion card art.

FTFY.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

#21 - Potion



Top billing for the new base card art. I love this art. My daughters were bothered that the potion is bluer at the top than the bottom and something about the bubbles on the table.

Tomorrow we'll start our top 20.

#22 - Pathfinding



We used the corrected art, not the original.

It's a little dark. Great capture of the feel of being out in the wild. One daughter said this reminded her of an ad for Assassin's Creed.

#23 - Watchtower



The predominance of cool colors fits nicely with the blue border. We have some weird ghost fog emanating from the tower door.

#24 - Groundskeeper



As has been posted elsewhere, we thought her attire is out of the proper time period. The art is great. The gloves and shirt just don't seem to fit. Someone will now post a painting of some art back then showing someone dressed similarly, but that's what we think.

Not sure what the guy just off the foreground is dragging behind him. We might expect a little more of a crowd at the bazaar. Great art.

#26 - Annex



This is a serious shift in feel from Silk Road. The barbarian warrior on the left is rushing headlong into a spear in the face. This is a very compact battlefield, but how would we know about what battles were actually like back then?

#27 - Silk Road



Nice lighting, soft lines, and a great feel make this easy on the eyes. One daughter said the oxen look like overstuffed pigs. Blah, blah.

#28 - Hero



Hero tops the Page-line art. One of my daughters is still going ballistic over her going into combat with her hair down. It's a valid point, but certainly not worth getting the blood pressure up over.

We like the effect of the long shadows.
