#31 - Vagrant



Another really dark card. He seems dressed very well for a vagrant. Is this the Caravan Guard in off hours? A Goth teen sulking in the street?

#32 - Farming Village



My daughters made a comment about Barbie Mariposa because of all the butterflies, but I'm not sure what that is about. What are they farming? Something is off about the woman's neckline, but we're not exactly sure what it is.

#33 - Trusty Steed



This is the start of group B, 17 cards.

Perhaps another card that got a little bump because it has an animal in it. It's a little dark, but a fine rendition of the horse. We'll have to take their word for it that it's trusty.

#34 - Contraband



We love the colors and detail. It looks like a snow globe on top of the chest. My girls made some comment about the magic carpet from Aladdin, but I don't see it.

That is the end of group C.

#35 - Dame Natalie



We really like the lighting here. The artist may have overdone the density of the trees, but it is working well enough.

#36 - Ill-gotten Gains



This is another fabulous example of art representing an abstract concept. My girls thought it looked like a bunch of foaming insulation coming up under the raven. I love the speared skull.

#37 - Haunted Castle



Sure, it reminds us of the castle from Sleeping Beauty once Malificent put the thorns around it, but we love Sleeping Beauty.

#38 - Transmogrify



Gandalf summons a ratbird (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs). This bird looks much better than the nasty ratbirds from that movie.

Anyway, I think this art is really cool (obviously). Too bad I can't give myself a +1 on this.

#39 - Stables



Maybe this card got a little rating bump because it has to do with animals. The guy on the right looks somewhat like the human form of the Beast (Beauty and the Beast).

The hay looks a little prickly and the horse in the stall looks like it's wearing a wig.

#40 - Fortress



As with many Dominion cards, I wish it weren't quite so dark. I love the scenery.

#41 - Lighthouse



My daughters were upset at the shape of the lighthouse. The stereotypical lighthouse for them is round. They want it done right!!!

It doesn't bother me at all. The color scheme goes nicely with the orange border.

#42 - Advisor



I never imagined Wormtongue being bald, but hey, why not? Here he is doing what he does best. The only way to beat him is to give him choices that are all bad for him (and good for you).

This actually looks a lot like Taxman doing double duty. It also looks like he is whispering to a mannequin. I still like it.

#43 - Familiar



My daughters weren't sure which being is controlling which. This art is a nice change-up from the typical Dominion card.

For a long time Familiar was my favorite Dominion card. I used to play a lot with my son (who is now gone off to college) and he would never buy Familiar. I would usually destroy him particularly with no trashing in the game. I never could figure out why he would avoid it, but I developed a real liking for the card. In the same way Torturer art embodies the card, for me Familiar does the same.

#44 - Young Witch



In what is pure coincidence after jsh comes out of nowhere with his Cornucopia rating after we had all given him up for dead, here is a 3rd Cornucopia card in a row.

ConMan wasn't alone in noticing the similarities between Young Witch and Fairgrounds. At first we thought maybe this was the girl from Fairgrounds, who, after being supremely disappointed by her experience there, decided to become a witch. On further inspection, this is clearly the Farigrounds' girl's younger sister. She had a premonition that the fair was going to be awful and ran off to get the tattoo and pet possum and start her apprenticeship with the local witch. See what a bad fair can do to a person?

#45 - Harvest



Here are the Amber Waves of Grain referenced in my earlier Pollyanna post of Crown. Yes, jsh, there is a lot of yellow here but what do you expect to find in a grain field?

My daughters thought the grain looked like hair. I don't see it.

#46 - Hamlet



What is Hamlet without a 2B or not 2B reference? We like the toothpick windmill and Santa boots.

I've always really liked Hamlet.

#47 - Trade Route



The animals have long legs even for mules. I think this is beautiful, peaceful art. I really like it. It almost looks like they are wearing jeans.

#48 - Storyteller



My daughters say the knight and dragon look like Diamond Armor fighting a wyvern in Minecrap, I mean Minecraft. It's another reference lost on me.

#49 - Wolf Den



This is the start of group C, 16 cards.

How cute! I'm the only reason this didn't make group A with my animal loving daughters involved. This is good art but not great.

What's going on on top of the building to the left? They seem to colorful to be statues.

That is the end of group D.

My daughters, the animal lovers, want to know where the camel is.

That's a very nice water feature and chlorinated water.

The lady in yellowish has been doing some serious abs work. I don't think I'd be dancing under that chandelier. It will be putting off some serious wax drippings.

#53 - Laboratory



One of my daughters thought this looked like the Hogwarts Trophy Room. Another thought this looked like the Lazy Town bad guy. I have no idea what that even is.

One of the guys I played with, before he moved, always called this card Lavatory. It stuck.

I love that hat.

The horse's legs seem a little short. This art is pretty cool.
