#107 - Lost Arts



Those almost look like sticks of dynamite there. We are surprised at how careless people have been in Dominion art in having parchment kept so close to an open flame.

#106 - Curse



Curse is one of my favorite pieces of art although my daughters didn't entirely agree. Here is an abstract concept captured very well. I love it.

That is the end of group H.

#105 - Wandering Minstrel



This is the start of group G, 14 cards.

What did Dumbledore expect when he hired Quirrell the wandering minstrel as his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?

#104 - Treasure Trove



Aladdin's lamp is the real treasure here. Some of the rest of the stuff just looks like costume jewelry.

#103 - Sir Martin



Sir Martin must have some serious pecs for them to need to custom fit his armor around them like that. He's riding under a banner from Mulan.

I don't really understand though.

Your daughters are all looking at these cards intensively, scrutinizing the artwork, but there's also something else on the card: the text that says what the card actually does. How does one look at all of these cards without even considering playing the actual game? If I were asked for some kind of art ranking committee involving a card game I don't know a lot about - say, Magic - I would estimate the chance of me becoming actually interested in the game itself to be about 99%. At the very least I would want to know what all of these things on the card meant (in the case of Dominion, +Cards, +Buys et cetera).

I guess your girls aren't nerdy enough.

I take it you never collected Pokemon cards as a child?

#101 - University



This is another scene reminiscent of Lego Harry Potter.

We now begin the top 100 cards, according to our weird method.

#100 - Cache



Someone's chest fell off the back of their cart in the middle of Snow White's woods. We like the Medusa head.

I have no evidence for this besides looks, but I believe this art was based on Christchurch college Oxford.  Which is where pieces of Harry Potter were filmed. So you're not far off perhaps.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

I actually did play that game though! It was surprisingly awful, considering the fact that the video games have such a nice battling metagame.

#99 - Throne Room



Even though it's very red, we like it. Reminds me of how everything was red when Jafar was briefly sultan.

Those are some nice copper apples on the left. It's weird how the one item on the right is teetering without falling. Buy your Mayan calendar here.

When I went to pull this up on the Wiki for the image, I started typing Sinead O'Connor. She has creepy fingers.

#96 - Vineyard



The vineyard rows look more like a hedge to me. My daughters say this looks like the vineyard from The Parent Trap (newer version I guess because it didn't bring up that same image for me).

I didn't even know there was an older version. The Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen one was the only version I knew.

The original had Haley Mills but my daughters were referring to the Lindsay Lohan version which I have not seen.

#94 - Rats



Rats is such a fun card to win with. I admit I've lost a ton of my attempts to win with a Rats strategy, but so satisfying when you pull it off. None of the people I regularly used to play with (all have moved) ever even tried to do anything with Rats. If there's even an inkling of a chance with it, I will go for it.

If I'm not mistaken, this is Ruined Grand Market. It used to be Great Salt Lake City and they dropped the Great, so whatever.
