Wizards of the Coast finally confirmed they are moving forward with a new art collection. It was a long road to get them to acknowledge the demand but we succeeded. Keep your eyes open for the official announcement because your persistence made this possible.

Magic: the Gathering is a visually beautiful collectible card game. The worlds that the game takes place upon, planes, have hundreds of depictions that create an utterly unique immersive experience. One past Magic art book has been created with one small collection in a comic book as well. Lizz Baldwin edited that 1998 book and fifteen years later, that book has skyrocketed to over $50 for 122 pages of beautiful art! We can honor the last fifteen years and utilize art assets for an introduction to Magic in every home, on every living room table. But we cannot get a book printed unless we, as the player base, unite to ask that one be made. Without people signing up to say "yes, I would like this," no future art compilation book will be created.
Please sign this petition and tell Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro, Inc. that you want a NEW Magic coffee table book.

The climb to one hundred signatures has been draining but we are finally within reach of that mark. I need you to push this link to anyone else who wants to see this collection become a reality so we can prove our intent to the company.

I'd love to finally see some of the artwork from the style guides. I've searched all over and can't find much about them. As someone who is working on becoming an illustrator this would be a wonderful source of inspiration.
My son spent many years addicted to the game, and has now become a fantasy artist because of it. I would love a copy to give to him!
I have a binder purely of cards that I think have beautiful art. This binder is just for looking. I like to look at pretty cards, and this is how I do it. I would buy something better in a heartbeat.
For a game so heavy with art, this only makes sense! So much detail and grace can be found in each card, but the art is crammed into a tiny little square. Do the art some justice and publish them in a larger size in high resolution! Nils Hamm needs to be part of this!
The fantastic artists you commission to flesh out our world are half of the reason the game is popular. Give me this. Having a book per block would be incredible, a specially if you included style guide notes/art along with each block book.
This would be the perfect gift for MTG fans
Magic is not magic without art.

Book stores have entire sections dedicated to art. People like me wait for every issue of the Spectrum books. Not having a complete compliation of all these years of art seems like such a waste for us fans and artists alike. I've been waiting for it since I first laid eyes on thallids and thrulls back in 1994
