What a wonderful surprise to start the weekend! Absolutely love this version of Faithless Looting.

Looking at the piece more closely and understanding the process helps a lot to appreciate the art. I do believe the biggest issue is the frame, which cuts off a lot of the reading and I agree that it would gain much from a better treatment. It shows when I can appreciate the art card more than the actual playable card. The framing is as important as the piece itself. It gives structure, context. It's a part of its language. Thank you for this episode! I think it'd be great to have more of these deep-dives on specific pieces and the story behind them.

I really appreciate the commentary on how trite the community had responded to this art with

Amazing as always. As someone who appreciates art but doesn’t have a lot of experience with art criticism, your breakdowns of artists’ styles, techniques, influences, and homages gives me so much more context for enjoying the piece. Thanks for bringing so much richness to this game we love.
