Holy yumola

Is this real Magic art that they are selling?

Holy shit Vivien doesn't look ugly. That's a first.

Yes

>War of the Spark is all about Planeswalkers. With 36 different characters represented, the set truly showcases an all-out war for the fate of the Multiverse being fought on Ravnica.

>We wanted to do something special to commemorate this event in Japan, so we worked with Japanese artists to create alternate-art versions of every planeswalker in the set. All 36 planeswalkers in War of the Spark were reimagined beautifully by artists well-known throughout Japan, including Yoshitaka Amano!

>These alternate versions appear randomly in Japanese-language War of the Spark boosters, replacing the regular version of the planeswalker in the pack 50% of the time. We've made Japanese boosters available to retailers around the world, so you can find them nearby wherever you live.

>These cards will also be available in Wizards Play Network promo packs during the Core Set 2020 play season, appearing in roughly 1:4 of packs. The alternate-art planeswalkers have only been printed in Japanese, but will appear in promo packs around the world.

Here's a pic comparing the USA ones with the JP ones from /tg/.

That Liliana by Amano is pretty neat. The Angrath is way better too.

Damn, I like nearly all of these. In most of them I can't even tell which side I like better.
I really like JP-Vivien, JP-Davriel, JP-Arlinn and JP-Ral
JP-Narset is dumb. She looks completely different. Feels like bad anime fanart. They're supposed to be the same character.
JP-Bolas is light-years inferior to US-Bolas.
JP-Sorin's hairstyle is fucking retarded.

How did japs fuck up Nicol Bolas like that

Oh boy I love we arr rook same slant art

They ruined Bolas and Nahiri

>That Narset
The hell is this, Shadowverse?

>All the normal looking women appear way too similar in Japan
>All the black characters looks better from Japan
>The males are way too feminine in Japan

Japanese Tamiyo is cute! Cute!

>All the black characters looks better from Japan
I disagree. original Kaya looks better, IMO. She's too animefied.

>Amano Liliana
MUH DIK

Tibalt and Vraska got the biggest upgrades art wise.

I like Japanese Vivien. I think she's more attractive but still retains all of Vivien's essence. It's not at all comparable to Narset, which might as well be a completely different character.

Damn that Arlinn looks fucking great too bad that card is straight up garbage. Also that Nicol Bolas what the fuck japan?

She's supposed to be a middle aged mid-wife. God damn it, Japan.

>Don't warn anyone about this
>Have people buying booster boxes that don't have these illustrations
>Announce this shit less than a week before release
Enjoy buying a million Japanese boosters for these alt arts. Pay up, goys.

>Yeah, just give the story's main villain to the kindergartner

Japs really love to not stay in the borders of the card frame. The original art is also slightly covering the name at the top or whatever, but not that wildly. left, right, sideways etc.

Thats a stylistic choice by wizards not the artist they do that for the majority of planeswalkers to differentiate them from other types of cards.

Dude for real this nicol bolas looks like complete shit I cant believe they accepted this as printable art

rofl

Inb4 he just comes back in Return to Theros.
