Man, last thread nobody even believed me that he was constipated. Look at you all now.

I actually thought it was one of the funniest things you wrote on the previous rankings. I have gone back and corrected my error of not giving you +1 on that at the time.

12. Bridge



It's a pretty all right bridge. If you add some cartoon eyes up in the sky it might look like a really groovy mustache too. Can we dig deeper on this one? No, I don't think so. Such a pursuit is a bridge to nowhere.

Always makes me think of this bridge.

If you play the show backwards you can hear, "Donald X is dead."

11. Conspirator



Doctor Who is back on! Whoo! Thanks for rocking the Tardis blue in celebration, guys. Yeah, Conspirator has some cool art. If nothing else it's a spiffy concept that fits the theme of Intrigue well. I dig their masks; they seem to resemble Oni masks from Japanese folklore, but the intent could be some culture I'm not as studied up on. If those aren't masks, then whoa, these guys need to see a Doctor right away.  See what I did there?

I never noticed this before, but do those streaks imply they're meeting in the rain? That's cool.

I'm not convinced they're wearing masks.  I think that guy may just have a really big shnoz.

10. Masquerade



Sorry to be late. A natural consequence of doing this list this way in the middle of grad school is I may not feel like writing much some days, but I'll still update the list. Boy, that man is having a ball, huh? The image implies he's some kind of wizard or otherwise magical being, but the name of the card just implies a dance. Well, it looks sinister and evokes that shady feeling we want out of Intrigue, so I guess it's a winner.

A professional hack

9. Torturer



The Torturer has spent so much time in the Throne Room that the redness has sunk in to his skin. Either that or he's got a wicked sunburn. I'm not too big a fan of Mr. Torturer's overall design, but you have to admit he looks threatening, which is the entire point. That belt buckle, though. Wow.

It looks like he's sporting a pair of headphones (Beats I assume). I wonder what his torturing playlist is.

Man, I feel like I haven't been berating Jsh enough. The fact that you 'can't dig deeper on Bridge' should put it lower, but whatever, I think Bridge looks okay. I do think Masquerade is one of the best looking cards in Intrigue, and I feel like it should be higher.

I don't think this is true. If I have a skillet covered in bacon and it all looks glorious and crispy, but I don't have anything else to say about it, does that devalue the bacon? No way, man. I can appreciate the bacon on its own terms. Bacon is truth; truth, bacon. That is all we know on earth, and all we need to know.

That doesn't devalue the bacon, but if you are explaining the bacon to people who haven't seen the bacon, it gets devalued. Instead of saying that it was glorious and crispy, you just tell them that you had bacon.

I'm sorry. But it's all okay. In just a few lengths of time, you will be able to elect a more serious Dominion Card Art Commentator to satisfy your never-ending hunger for academic, post-modern analysis on cartoon bridges.

Bacon is truth, truth, bacon.

Your first comma should have been the most obvious semi-colon in the long and violent history of punctuation.

You are correct. If it's any consolation for me, you can always blame that John guy for getting it wrong in the first place.

8. Great Hall



Is it truly fair for the beyond amateur art critic to speak for these images? What I say is only a truth defined by my own perceptions, and many would argue that the art should speak for itself. Let's satisfy a thought experiment. Great Hall, can you, an image created by a person, defend your placement on this ranking of card art from an expansion to Dominion, a game created by a different person? What are your thoughts on the value of art in our lives, Great Hall? Speak up; don't be shy.

I think Torturer looks horrible. Talk about impossible body standards. And about how to draw realistical abs, too.
What I love about Masquerade is that the art sort of reflects the mechanics of the card. It's cute.

As long as people are still annoyed by my presence, I don't like Great Hall very much, either.
