Alternate Art Cards


Recommended Posts

If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry, this seems this be the place to do it.

Anyways, I love it when Komani releases alternate art for certain cards, like Blue Eyes White Dragon or Buster Blader. I don't believe there are TOO many of them, or that even newer cards even received any, but they get multiple forms, so I guess it balances?
 
My personal favorite is the Shonen Jump Dark Magician.

So, do you have a favorite alternate art and do you think this is a good practice, just a way for Konami to squeeze money from us, or both?

What did I miss?

 

I'd like them to do more of these. Whenever they do, it is kind of a big thing like the anniversary pack or very classic cards like the Dark Magician...
I can understand alt art costing money, but it'd be nice if they did it more often. MTG and other card games do it all the time.

 

 

 

EDIT:
As for my favorite ones.
LE5-002, LE5-001,

and Buster Blader's and Celtic Guardian's anniversary artworks.

Mine is probably Dark Magician Girl, although Kazuki Takahashi didn't want to redraw the artwork for her anniversary release, so we don't have it.

(All he had to do was just remove her bust line or give her some clothing underneath or something, and we'd probably be okay with the FCC/certain parental groups)

 

On-topic, I don't mind Konami releasing alternate artworks of certain cards, because some of them might be more visually appealing than their originals.

Too bad some of the good ones were World Champion promos only.

I'd say my favourite is the art of Red-Eyes B Dragon we never got in TCG.

I also don't mind Konami releasing alt arts either tbh, though with regards to some cards from the anime, the IRL art is sometimes different from the anime (ie Zephyros, Strong Wind Dragon, and most recently the Phantom Knights Xyz in Wing Raiders).
