[[File:MH1 Art Series front side.png|thumb|right|<c>Mox Tantalite</c> art card]] An '''art card''' is a regular sized [[Collecting|collectible]] bonus [[card]] that comes with some ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' [[booster]]s.<ref name="Twitch">{{WebRef|url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/428860046?t=55m21s|title=Weekly MTG: Modern Horizons special preview|author=[[Blake Rasmussen]], [[Stephen Sunu]], [[Adam Prosak]] and [[List of illustrators|Ryan Pancoast]]|publisher=Twitch|date=}}</ref> Art cards are not ''Magic'' cards and are not for gameplay.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/modern-horizons-release-notes-2019-05-31|''Modern Horizons'' Release Notes|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|May 31, 2019}}</ref> [[File:MH1 Art Series back side.png|thumb|right|Back side of the art card]] ==Description== The front side depicts a piece of [[art]] in a horizontal orientation. There are no foil art cards. Instead, all of them are treated with a specially developed gloss varnish that brings out the art.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/185157648848/hi-mark-can-you-give-us-more-information|title=Can you give us more information regarding the art cards?|May 26, 2019}}</ref> The [[card back]]s are mostly blank, with some [[collector]]'s info (''Magic'' logo, [[illustration]] credits, legal text and [[collector number]]s). The backs are left uncoated. They are similar to an artist's proofs and thus provide room to get an artist's signature or sketch on it. They can also be used as [[token]]s for [[copy]] [[effect]]s, [[proxy|proxies]], or if it is for a [[legendary]] [[creature]] it could be a good way to store [[experience counter]]s, [[life]] total, commander tax, etc. ==History== Arts cards were first featured in the [[Modern Horizons/Art Series|''Modern Horizons'' Art Series]]. They returned for the [[Zendikar Rising/Art Series|''Zendikar Rising'' Art Series]] and [[Kaldheim/Art Series|''Kaldheim'' Art Series]].<ref>{{YouTubeRef|NqoFes1rJ0c|Magic: The Gathering Panel with Mark Rosewater {{!}} Comic-Con@Home 2020}}</ref> In these sets, five percent of the time, rather than a normal art card you'll get one with a gold-stamped signature of the artist.<ref name="Set Booster">{{DailyRef|making-magic/set-boosters-2020-07-25|Set Boosters|[[Mark Rosewater]]|July 25, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|feature/kaldheim-product-overview-2021-01-25|Kaldheim Product Overview|[[Ari Zirulnik]]|January 25, 2021}}</ref> Every art card exists in both its normal version and its signature version. Starting with ''[[Dominaria United]]'', [[Wizards of the Coast]] increased the rate at which gold-stamped signature art cards were found from 1-in-20 (5%) to 1-in-10 (10%).<ref name="DMUart">{{WebRef|url=https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/card-image-gallery/dominaria-united-art-cards-2022-08-30|title=Dominaria United Art Cards|author=[[Kendall Pepple]]|publisher=[[magicthegathering.com]]|date=August 30, 2022|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230401202703/https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/card-image-gallery/dominaria-united-art-cards-2022-08-30|archivedate=April 1, 2023}}</ref> With the introduction of [[Play Booster]]s in ''[[Murders at Karlov Manor]]'', [[Wizards of the Coast]] switched from 81 art cards being made per set down to 49. Then with ''[[Outlaws of Thunder Junction]]'' going forward, increased the number back up to 54 art cards per set release. This change was made, in part, to reflect that there are fewer art cards showing up in each pack.<ref name="Discord Q&A">{{DailyRef|announcements/play-booster-discord-q-and-a|Play Booster Discord Q&A|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|October 20, 2023}}</ref> The change in numbers also necessitated a change in the odds of gold-stamped signature art cards, from 1-in-10 (10%) to 1-in-7 (~14.29%).<ref name="MKMart">{{DailyRef|card-image-gallery/murders-at-karlov-manor-art-cards|Murders at Karlov Manor Art Cards|[[Kendall Pepple]]|January 30, 2024}}</ref> The release of ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' brought the odds of stamped art cards back to their initial position of 1-in-20 (5%).<ref name="OTJart">{{DailyRef|card-image-gallery/outlaws-of-thunder-junction-art-cards|''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' Art Cards|[[Kendall Pepple]]|April 5, 2024}}</ref> ==List of sets with art cards== {| class="wikitable" |+ Caption text |- !
