Since the card art for Shadowreaper Anduin is so ugly (imho), I have found an actual synergy between this card and Shadowform : you get a portrait so cool it makes your opponent concede: OP!
Now, on a more serious note, don't you guys think they could have made much better than this?
Jaina was far better in the trailer (what they did with her just has no explanation), Rexxar was better in the trailer and the promos, Thrall and Valeera are really cool both in the trailer and the cards, but I for Anduin I disagree, I think he is far better in the card than in the trailers or the promos. In those he looks too cartoonish and not particularly menacing, he just looks like a tiny, angry teenager with short arms, a tacky costume and a toy wand.
Granted the DK card portrait does not fit the usual Hearthstone artstyle and that the background is too flat and bright and could use some improvement, but the concept and the drawing themselves are so much better than those in the trailers.
If anything, I do really like the "turned back" posture of Anduin and the general colour scheme in the alternative portrait you posted, but the art is not as good.

Compare it to a picture taken from the trailer:

All the DK arts in the trailer was better. I don't know what's wrong with the arts in this expansion. Most of them are either ugly or recycled arts.

The artwork of Anduin is fine, even great. The artwork of Jaina is shit. She looks like your great-aunt at the picnic in the middle of taking a fart.
How can you guys like Anduin's art? He looks like a very pissed punk teenager because his mother dressed him with colorful clothes lol
Yeah they could've done something so much better,,,,, it looks cheesy. maybe the golden version will be better...
The background for Anduin is too bright. That's the only problem IMO.
Same with Jaina. Promo trailer design was miles better, but this one would be cool too if her background wasn't so dang bright.
