Words can not express my disappointment

"Red Mage"

I was really hoping to play Alisaie in Standard and I am going to shit my pants and cry if she doesn't have her own card in the main set and gets doomed to rot away in Commander

Why she looking like

I can't tell if that really is Alisaie or if Alphinaud is photo-bombing and wearing his sister's clothes as a running gag.
That artwork certainly gives that impression! You can tell all the MP went into the Sephiroth cards.

Cause WotC is allergic to drawing womens faces well and feminine.
The only times that happes are via alt arts comissioned by artists otherwise not affiliated with WotC.

Here, you can have the full gang.

Most of it is just the usual Chad filter garbage, but Urianger really killed me. He looks like his evil twin, ready to feed the Scions to the next best Ascian that comes around the corner :D

This is like people "transvestigating" literally every woman with a prominent chin that isn't super pointed. She looks perfectly fine for a teenage girl.

I wasn't trying to be aggressive about it, I just thought poking fun at it is amusing, like my first thought was the fateful "an ilm taller and twice as rugged" line and started giggling, sometimes a statement is just a shallow riff.

what did you really expect from wotc.

Idk if l will buy this. I can't see its potential in cedh

I’ve seen better art by casual fans.

The art style matters because you want the viewer of the thing to be able to tell if it's a boy or a girl or not. Alisaie's face in that image looks more like it should have been used for Alphinaud rather than his sister.

A great example is how in XIV, from a distance both the twins looks completely identical, but if you get up close. You can point out subtle, but obvious differences in their appearances.

Alisaie in game has more prominent lips, eyelashes and softer eye shape compared to her brother, who has more muted features in the same parts to show which is a boy and which one is a girl.

All this WoTC card makes me think of is that one line in Endwalker where Estinien mistakes Alisaie for Alphinaud and thinks how "he" became more rugged. xD

wait was this whole thing about how she looks?
I've never played the card game but I thought it had to do with that maybe the card wasn't that good or what people wanted

Oh I think the card looks pretty good, I do think her face is more angular than normal, but that's just a somewhat different art style expressing itself, and it was an easy think to heckle, so I took the shot, but I didn't mean anything by it, then some tools who make "culture war" their entire personality thought I was serious, I suppose I should know better than make a joke for the sake of the joke in the internet.

Yeah I got that your post was a joke but I didn't know if that's why the thread was created
I don't know enough about the card game to really weigh in on it but I saw "commander" and assumed the card was bad or something

It should also be noted that the MtG card artstyle is wildly inconsistent. You have gorgeous art made by someone like Anna Podedworna and on the other you have anime looking cards that wouldn't be out of place in Yugioh.

I was actually bitching that they made the RED MAGE a Mono White card, and one that isn't legal for play in Standard or Pioneer/Modern. Alisaie is forever trapped in the EDH Gaol. I ALSO think the art is bad, but in regards to MTG, playability and Format Legality are my primary concerns

MTG Eragorn is HILARIOUS https://cards.scryfall.io/large/fron...ca2cfc6205.jpg
Not many people realize but he is actually all 5 colours and not just UWGR

Why's she got that Robbie Rotten chin. Creepy.
