Boommaster Flark

Flark's Boom-Zooka

Myra Rotspring

Stargazer Luna

Weaponized Piñata (Even though it reminds me of Fortnite, it is still delicious)

Among others...

Least Favorite(s): 

Kangor's Endless Army

Test Subject

Necrium Vial

Voltaic Burst

Celestial Emissary (Not bad, just so redundant)

 

 

 I love Necrium Vial

what don't you like about it? 

 The card itself is awesome spell wise, and it uses two of my favorite colors; But the card art, when it's in your hand and you have a bevy of other eye popping art in its surrounding, this is just going to look a gloopy glob of purple in comparison. Also, is that really a vial or a plastic perfume bottle that this inky, mushy skull squid is coming out of? lmao

Best: The Boomship  Shrink Ray Zerek's Cloning Gallery  The StormBringer Astromancer  Gloop Sprayer  Mechano-Egg Goblin Prank 

Worst: Seaforium Bomber  Juicy Psychmelon Kaboom Bot  Toxicologist

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.

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

 I was thinking exactly about the same cards before opening the thread! I even checked the artist and all his works are really good. Great job indeed. 

Yeah Omega Medic it's really ugly and there are also other similar cards with those green people with huge heads. They look really bad lul

Preferred: Crystology i just like the colouring style and the lightning zapping pattern.

Notable mention to Floop's Glorious Gloop because it looks as juicy and refreshing as the Gloop is meant to be.

Worst: Goblin Bomb. Dull.

Overall, there are many nice arts Goblin Prank, but there are also many that feel a bit dull too, imo. Maybe the expansion theme is also a bit too narrow (mech mech mech) and that does not help.

Biology Project is great

Zerek, Master Cloner, Blightnozzle Crawler and Eternium Rover are some of my personal favorites. (This expansion made me realize I have a thing for one-eyed weird looking robots)

And the worst one simply HAS to be Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. This "cartoon-y", "childish" looking art is GREAT in general for cards... But when it comes to Hero Cards... Well, compare it to all others. It simply feels out of place and I really dislike it, I would've preferred something more cool looking rather than funny looking. Again, just because it is a Hero Card. Otherwise it'd be great.

To be honest, I'm really not a fan of the art in DDP.

I know that the lazy campy cartoon style has existed in Hearthstone since GvG, although every so often in each set they would they would still produce some high quality art like Countess Ashmore and Nightscale Matriarch  in Witchwood or borrow some art from the original WoW TCG like with Skulking Geist.

Eureka! and Dreampetal Florist are particularly nauseating, but my toddler nephew seems to enjoy them.

I suppose if I had to pick one, Luna's Pocket Galaxy in golden does look pretty nice.

 I think it may be more "cute" with it being a Goblin themed expansion to an extent and is trying to play on the nostalgia factor from GvG. If the art style was similar for that set then I can see why they are tying the sets together in such a way. 

Golden Zerek, Master Cloner and The Boomship are two of the coolest cards in the set. I also like how they did with Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. 

Don't really dislike anything. I like the variety in styles and looks for the cards. 

After having a proper think about it, these are my favourites. 

Zilliax
Myra Rotspring
Galvanizer
The Soularium
Pogo-Hopper
Blightnozzle Crawler
Necrium Vial
Necrium Blade

and I don't like.

Omega Medic 
Omega Defender (although the original card artwork I really did like)

Favorites: Floop's Glorious Gloop, Dreampetal Florist, Flark's Boom-Zooka, Venomizer, Cosmic Anomaly, Crystalsmith Kangor, Autodefense Matrix, Glow-Tron, Zerek, Master Cloner, Myra Rotspring, Violet Haze, Electra Stormsurge, Storm Chaser, Ectomancy, The Boomship, Mecha'thun, Harbinger Celestia, Star Aligner, E.M.P. Operative, Weaponized Pinata, Spark Engine, Piloted Reaper, and Faithful Lumi.  

Least Favorites: Dendrologist, Glowstone Technician, Power Word: Replicate, Test Subject, Seaforium Bomber, Explodinator, Brainstormer, Microtech Controller, and Electrowright

Imo best are:

Weaponized Piñata: It's a freaking piñata with guns, come on!

Loose Specimen: Love how wacky it is to have a gazillion beasts stitched together.

Flark's Boomzooka: Too epic.

Cosmic Anomaly: It's simply awesome. Not much needs to be said.

Omega Agent: I always thought those Talon guys had cool armors.

Glow-Tron: The protoss-vibe is strong in this one.

And worst would be:

Dreampetal Flourist: I usually tend to dislike gnome art... well, because I usually don't like gnomes in general. And this one, specially seeing how broken the card itself is, feels like is mocking me.

Omega Defender: I know the previous art did lead to confusion because it pictured a Mech... but it was so damn better... this one has nothing interesting in it, and that's a real downgrade.

Test Subject:: Well, this IS a nasty gnome.

Power Word: Replicate: I really don't like the style, might be just me, but I just don't like it.

And specially... Holomancer: I really can't understand how did the devs could make such a terrible card, the effect is terrible, but the art is also yuck, feels like it's some sort of spoiled brat trying to flirt with me.

Zerek, Master Cloner, Weaponized Piñata and Flark's Boom-Zooka are of course amazing. I generally speaking like the aesthetics of Hearthstone and BDP isn't an exception.

I actually like most of the things many players seem to dislike, namely Goblin Bomb. It's a very clear card where I can immediately understand what it represents and what's happening, which I consider a huge upside. On the other side of the coin is something like Cloakscale Chemist - dude, where are your legs? Is that thing in the left a leg or a tail? Are you squatting? For the same reason, I don't particularly like Cybertech Chip and Electra Stormsurge (where's your face).

I also hate Crazed Chemist and E.M.P. Operative. The former is just weird, the latter is far too generic and also too far from Hearthstone's cartoon-like style.

The best imo:

 I don't mind the Giggling Inventor TBH. it is a bit cutesy, but I love how maniacal the Gnome looks. really could believe they built Annoy-o-Tron

Luna's Pocket Galaxy

Zerek, Master Cloner

Coppertail Imposter

Harbinger Celestia

 The legs are, well, cloaked (invisible). That's the entire point of the card. Have a look at its (fantastic) golden animation and it will all make sense.

I really hate Secret Plan. What is up with the goblin's mouth?

Cosmic Anomaly is just perfect and Zerek, Master Cloner is badass, the worst was I thing the previous art of Omega Defender, the new one is ok.
