did you ever take a short glance at a (new) card and from that point had a certain picture in mind, and when you took a closer look or saw the full art it turned out to be completely different?
For example, I thought the Carnivorous Cube had a cigar in his mouth, which turned out to be a mace and I never noticed the swallowed Kobold inside him.
Another one was the Stoneclaw Totem which I thought had a snake-like head somehow. Turns out that it was a bunch of murlocs surrounding it.
Just right now when browsing through my collection I realized that Booty Bay Bodyguard doesn't hold a weapon or a banana and only shows its bare hand (I thought he was sneaking upon somebody with something in his hand, sounds stupid, right?).
So what was your best "aha experience" when inspecting the full card art?
Raptor Hatchling appears in the card it generates, Raptor Patriarch. At first I thought maybe they used the exact same art work, but you can kind of tell in Hatchling the Patriarch is still approaching, and in the Patriarch art he's closer to his hatchling, ready to get revenge on you for hurting his baby.
Then for Onyxia I always assumed she is just breathing fire at an enemy, but she's actually breaking a rock away from the roof of the dungeon so that it falls on the raiding party below.
I know Auchenai Soulpriest was already mentioned, but at first I also thought that her left arm and horn was her eyes, and she was some kind of ghost,until a friend told me.
I had the same issue with Stoneclaw Totem, also I thought that Youthful Brewmaster had a turtle shell on his back, and then I realized that that made no sense, and it was actually his hat.

Hey guys,
did you ever take a short glance at a (new) card and from that point had a certain picture in mind, and when you took a closer look or saw the full art it turned out to be completely different?
For example, I thought the Carnivorous Cube had a cigar in his mouth, which turned out to be a mace and I never noticed the swallowed Kobold inside him.

Is he carrying a gun or riding a snowmobile?
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
Love this thread. I had the same issue with Carnivorous Cube and [card]Stoneclaw Totem[/card].
For the longest time I thought Auchenai Soulpriest was an evil rabbit, but those are horns not bunny ears.
Just right now I realized, that there's a large icebear behind him
Also interesting, that the 4 cards Murloc, Murloc Raider, Murloc Scout and Old Murk-Eye
use the same original image
Another interesting one is the Fen Creeper, which seems to have Nemsy on top of him.
You know the card Y'sarrjia Rage Unbound? Turns out that dude is a snake i had no idea.
Nemsy is also on top of Bog Creeper. She basically originated in these two cards before becoming an alt Warlock portrait.
i always thought Grimy Gadgeteer is a croc, with a metal jaw. But it is a goblin carrying a big gun :D
Also, check out the background of Venture Co. Mercenary. Look familiar?
Shadowboxer
I first thought it was a mech spider type thing on it - was surprised when it turned out to be a big boxing glove
One more for now...

I honestly somehow thought, that Loot Hoarder is some sort of hedgehog that has a really weird pointy and curled nose...
I just realized that it's infact just his beard.
