Amazing that this exists:

Abandonware made functional on modern systems by hobbyists and freely available on archive.org.

I remember playing this game a lot in my teens. Installed it a few days ago and I'm hooked again.

It's been a while since I did an MtG card.
Ghost-Lit Nourisher has always been one of my favourite MtG artworks. The eerie atmosphere is just impeccable and I hope the animation does the original piece justice. :)

An animated pixelart version of the Magic: The Gathering card "Ghost-Lit Nourisher" from Saviours of Kamigawa. The art features a japanese-style temple behind a torii gate at dusk in the background. The sky is brown and green and a path with some stairs leads up to it. Leaves from dark trees blow in the wind. Stone lanters stand before the stairs and to the right in the foreground. A ghostly figure flickers into existence in front of the viewer. It's a humanoid spirit wearing a rice hat and a simple light brown robe. It has long, flowing, red-brown hiar. In one hand it carries a green lantern with wisps circling around it. The other hand hides its face, beckoning the viewer. Green and brown wisps emerge from the figure's hunched back. Then it flickers out of existence once more. As the figure flickers in and out of existence, the card's text does too.

A shot of the painting at an angel
A close up of the angel's torso. Brush strokes and paint texture can be seen in more detail.

Angel of Indemnity painting with Denman Rooke posing on the right side. The angel floats above a dusty western street. 3 sets of wings sprawled out kicking dusty into the air. Two duelists hold their hands up to protect against the dust with one on the ground bleeding. The angel looks majestic with a halo around her face covering her eyes while adorning western attire and a wide brimmed cowboy hat.

    Magic: the Gathering Arena, their digital offering, emits a sound effect whenever one plays a Bird-type creature card. Inevitably, that sound is a red-tailed hawk scream. 🙄

    This is particularly criminal for this beautiful, legendary, horrible goose! Let Mother honk, game! Let Mother HONK!

    A screenshot of a Magic card. It’s a legendary creature cast with one green mana, one blue, and X colorless. The illustration is of an angry goose with at least seven heads being angry in different directions. Near one of her outflung wings, two normal geese appear, thus giving her scale: enormous, the size of a cottage. Also her foot may not be webbed, but scientific accuracy doesn’t go with creature type “Bird Hydra”! The card text reads, “flying; the Goose Mother enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. When The Goose Mother enters the battlefield, create half X Food tokens, rounded up. Whenever The Goose Mother attacks, you may sacrifice a Food. If you do, draw a card.” The artist’s name is Jesper Ejsing. The creature’s stats are 24/24 because I put 22 +1/+1 counters on it, so I admit this screenshot is also a boast!

    I've sent this email to art directors I've worked with at Wizards of the Coast. I hope other Magic or D&D artists will do the same or similar.

    Hi all my amazing art directors. I just wanted to send out an email regarding some concerning messaging around AI I've seen online from Hasbro's CEO Chris Cocks in an interview with GamesBeat. "First off, we're doing R&D efforts around AI... D&D has 50 years of content that we can mine. Literally thousands of adventures that we've created, probably tens of millions of words we own and can leverage." If Chris Cocks or anyone else in senior positions at Hasbro or Wizards of the Coast thinks the works I or other artists, art directors, writers, dungeon masters or creative humans have poured into these games are "content that we can mine" with AI, then I will have to take my future creative energy elsewhere. Which is sad, because Magic and D&D are probably one of, if not the most fun projects I've worked on in my creative career. I know I'm just one artist among many, but I'm probably not alone. These brands have been built on the creativity of human artists, art directors, writers, game designers... the lot. And it would be an insult to not only the creative individuals who have done this work, but to the fans who love these games because of the immense creativity put into it. Hopefully Wizards will not head down this route. I hope this email is one of numerous that other artists have sent in, so hopefully it will put pressure on senior decision makers. All the best. I hope we can continue working together in the future building fun, creative worlds.

    If this happens at any point, I'll stop working for Wizards that very moment.
