Apologies in advance if this thread was already made. I tried searching for one and didn't find anything.
What is your favorite and least favorite card art from Boomsday, and why? Personally, I really like Myra Rotspring and Zerek, Master Cloner because of how well the art's colors stand out with the priest and rogue borders.
On the other hand, I really dislike Crazed Chemist. Something about the art feels weirdly rough and out of place in what I would consider to be a negative way. That's not to say that I dislike the artist, as he also did Fungal Enchanter which I quite like.
Worst: Omega Medic Her face is like: pls kill me (how long can this go on?). Also, something in this color palette disturbs me. This art doesn't even look like something that should be in HS
Favorite(s): Cloning Device is my favorite even though it's a bad card because they are cloning a copy of the device that clones other things. Why have only one Cloning Device when you can clone twice as many things? Nethersoul Buster because when there's something demonic in the neighborhood, who ya gonna call? Nethersoul Buster! Worst: Goblin Bomb All other cards show something happening. Either a pose or a call to arms or a battle. Goblin Bomb is just the image with nothing happening. Boring art.
I can’t stand Eureka! and Dreampetal Florist. The cartoony style looks very amateurish and doesn’t appeal to me at all. Compare them to a kickass card like Countess Ashmore.
Harbinger Celestia. This one's such a shame. Terrific art wasted on a bad effect.
I think legendary spells this time around are fantastic in terms of art. There's a lot of great gold versions in this expansion and that's going to give me a run for my dust.
Not much for bad art, but Crazed Chemist seems particularly bad. Others are bland, but that one stands out.

I hadn't seen the pocket galaxy animation before now. That looks incredible. Whelp, time to go look through all of the golden cards.
I'd have to go with either Mulchmuncher or Zerek's Cloning Gallery. Mulchmuncher I've always liked. Love hippos; really love mech-hippos. Zerek's Cloning Gallery has great colours, golden animation, and I really love the aesthetic/theme of cloning tubes.
If I had to go for the "worst" one, it'd be the recycled art they used this expansion. But if I had to pick from the new art, Omega Defender would be it. It's not bad, really, but it pales in comparison to the original art for the card, imo. It's not really the worst, it's just my least favourite.
Necrium Vial has my favorite card art in the game. Crazed Chemist has one of the worst. It goes beyond just ugly art, I feel like the artist actively tried to make something off putting. The way she is smiling is unsettling. Nothing in the background. Ugh.
As for the worst, I'd say most of the seemingly weaker mechs fail to distinguish themselves from each other. The art isn't bad by itself, but it feels generic and unmemorable.
Crazed Chemist looks a bit... erotic (I know, I should see a shrink) but I wouldn't call her the worst card in terms of art.

Best: Cosmic Anomaly and Harbinger Celestia and Star Aligner
Specially the golden version. They remind me of the Ulduar raid. Not many arguments onthe art, just look at it. Cosmic Anomalybest art in HS, change my mind.

Zerek, Master Cloner is pretty sick. I really hope I don't unpack him though.
I really don't like the Fireworks Tech though. Maybe a little too disconnected from WoW.
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
I posted the following in another thread. It's gold versions but I find them awesome.
Floop's Glorious Gloop
Luna's Pocket Galaxy
Zerek's Cloning Gallery. Great use of color!

I don't have any I strongly dislike, but I love Weaponized Piñata.
Edit: Actually, I don't like the art they swapped Omega Defender to. The old art was much nicer.

I like
Upgradeable Framebot Its got a cool unorthodox steam punk design.
Ectomancy Nice use of color.
Unpowered Mauler Reminds me of the robots in laputa.
Thunderhead Very nice use of color that matches the shaman card border and overall looks neat.
The Soularium Looks very pretty with the contrasting colors
I dislike
Whirlglider Really generic its kinda to be expected with a fairly basic minion.
Dendrologist The goblin is just really ugly in this face is a big as his body.
Omega Mind Doesn't really match the visual style of hs very well.
Best: Cosmic Anomaly and Luna's Pocket Galaxy: Both of them are so misterious and otherworldly, I like them.
Worst: the new art of Omega Defender: That thing looks so weird and zoomed.
I Think this expansion has some awesome art!

I love all the new rogue cards though. They're all awesome.
Don't really have a least favourite yet. I need more time to see the cards.
None of my artwork was used for the Boomsday Project.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Flark's Boom-Zooka is the best.
