I think for overall this expansion's card arts are really good and fitting in the already existing style. They look colorful, yet they capture the essence of the snowy wastelands.
My favourite card art:Galakrond, the Tempest's final form. The color choices are mindblowing, it looks so action-packed.
The worst card art (in my opinion): Dragonrider Talritha. It looks really messy, it's hard to figure out what is actually on the card. The colors are all over the place.
I don't think I've ever disagreed with a worst art-pick as much as I'm doing now. But obviously, to each his or her own.
My favorite one is probably Murozond the Infinite. It's a close call with Clear the Way though, I love everything that happens in that picture.
Worst one for me is Ramming Speed, although that's close with Primordial Explorer. They could've done so much more, with both of these cards.
As an extra note, as I went over this expansion's cards, we got really spoiled. It was hard coming up with a worst art-card, as almost all of them are very well designed.

Hard to say which one is the best. I really like Valdris Felgorge.
The worst is definitely Bronze Explorer (I've made a thread why I dislike this card's art)
Jesus Christ, are you serious??? Valdris Felgorge looks terrible, one of the worst (if not the worst) pieces of art ever made for the franchise. And do you dare to complain about Bronze Explorer??? You have to be kidding, bro...
Not badly drawn or anything, but Awaken! has always been odd looking to me. It really emphasizes how tiny Galakrond's arms are. Most of the cards that feature Galakrond make him look big and menacing, like Invocation of Frost. This one is just goofy.

Righteous Cause? Good god man, how can you not love lil' Sir Finley knighting people in a winter outfit?
There's a lot of neat art, hard to pick one, I would say:
Favourite - "artistic/epic": Deathwing, Mad Aspect and Mindflayer Kaahrj
Favourite - "funny": Whispers of EVIL and Waxadred's Candle (does that count?) :)
Worst: Aeroponics, I guess
Favorite: Evasive Feywing I really like the colours and render of this one!
Not so Favorite: Dark Skies Looks like unfinished concept.
"Righteous Cause? Good god man, how can you not love lil' Sir Finley knighting people in a parka?"
I think he is looking at the art, not about the theme or story of it. To each a beautiful and ugly.
Favorite: Secure the Deck I don't really know why, the card art just really appeals to me.
Least favorite: Dragonrider Talritha pretty much same reasons as op.
Favorite: Mage in general got a lot of good-looking cards in DoD, but Mana Giant in particular has some beautiful colors.
Least Favorite: Sanctuary's smug tauren kind of ticks me off a little. I'm also not a huge fan of the purple, brown, and gold; they don't mix well.

Here are my predictions in The Exhaustive Ashes of Outlands Card Preview.
I agree! Mage has a lot of beautiful cards!
My favorite is Big Ol' Whelp :)
I don't like Azure Explorer. Look at his stupid little feet. Ugly/10
