Magic: the Gathering has been around for 30 years. There are 27,000 unique cards and growing. And a lot of them create tokens. While the official tokens are great, I have a need to celebrate the artwork of our (mtg) ancestors. Let's celebrate older artwork with a new coat of paint.

Token: 3/3 green Beasts

The generic green Beasts as seen on Garruk Wildspeaker and Beast Within

As popular as the token is, we grabbed 5 pieces of art.

Carnassid from Stronghold by Brom

Hunting Moa from Urza's Destiny by DiTerlizzi

Barkhide Mauler from Onslaught by Iain McCaig

Anurid Barkripper from Judgement by Randy Gallegos

Garruk's Companion from Magic 2011 by Efrem Palacios

While not an actual bear, Elves vs Goblins' Giant Growth (Matt Cavotta) has a fantastic bear. The final bear is Druid's Familiar (Adam Paquette) from Avacyn Restored

Continuing the trend of “Planescape books I weirdly skipped posting about,” here’s the second Monstrous Compendium for the campaign setting (1995). Have no clue why I stopped with the first volume, but I did. And that meant overlooking an entire book of @DiTerlizzi illustrations, which is probably a crime.

The whole book is pretty great. Tony takes a crack at the astral dreadnought, for one. We also get stats for the astral dreadnought, for another (despite featuring on the cover of Manual of the Planes, it mostly remained a mystery until now). There’s walking brain monsters, animal people, flying elephants, those weird porcupine-haired guys from Highlander II: The Quickening. Razorvine gets an official entry. Retrievers are retrieved. The Arcane are imported from Spelljammer, as are an odd sort of Neogi-kin.
