Most Badass Card Art for Each Class in The Boomsday Project
Time for another roundup of the most badass card art for each class (and neutral) in the latest expansion. Except, what’s that? This time there are mechs and EXPLOSIONS?! With an expansion like The Boomsday Project you can bet your bottom dollar there’s gonna be some badass card art. Bomb’s away!
Druid - Landscaping
Artist: Sam Hogg
Flavor Text: We'll put a happy tree right here...and give him a little friend.
Look, I know the Bob Ross flavor text probably doesn’t help my case here. But this Iron Giant lookalike is the most badass gardener I’ve ever seen. If you trample his plants, he tramples you.
Hunter - Flark's Boom-Zooka
Artist: Jim Nelson
Flavor Text: It used to be a Ba-zooka but we ran out of sheep.
That expression! The narrowed eyes, the snarled lips. This thing is on a mission to strike fear into the hearts of its enemies. And it’s working.
Mage - Cosmic Anomaly
Artist: Konstantin Turovec
Flavor Text: INGREDIENTS: STAR-STUFF, BLUE #1, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS.
I pity the fool who rubs this guy's lamp. Most intimidating genie ever.
Paladin - Autodefense Matrix
Artist: Zero
Flavor Text: We call it the bubble machine.
It’s hard to decide what’s more badass about this art, the enormous mech or the dwarf with a crystal that creates a forcefield. Are forcefields ever not badass?
Priest - Zerek, Master Cloner
Artist: James Ryman
Flavor Text: His original name was Aerek. Then the first clone was Berek. They went evil around Merek.
Amazing flavor text on this one. And what’s with the tubes? Do we even want to know what’s under the mask? I'm not sure anyone who tried to find out would fair too well.
Rogue - Crazed Chemist
Artist: Max Greck
Flavor Text: You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps.
Crazed look in her eyes and dripping potion aside, this chemist looks like she could handle herself in a tavern brawl. I don’t mean the in-game kind, either.
Shaman - Electra Stormsurge
Artist: L. Lullabi & K. Turovec
Flavor Text: "The coin? You used me for THE COIN!?"
I mean, damn, where do you even start here? She’s a heavily armored mech/tornado surrounded by lightning. Sweet shoulder pads too.
Warlock - Soul Infusion
Artist: Garrett Hanna
Flavor Text: People called him a soulless monster. We're not sure this is better.
Hopefully that suit wasn’t a rental. He's probably not going to get his deposit back.
Warrior - Dr. Boom, Mad Genius
Artist: Matt Dixon
Flavor Text: "Of course I've gone mad with power. Ever try going mad without it?"
I mean, really. Was there ever going to be another choice for most badass warrior card? No, no there wasn’t.
Neutral - Subject 9
Artist: Dany Orizio
Flavor Text: The original clever girl.
Not only is the card art downright amazing (and slightly terrifying) but a Jurassic Park reference to boot?
That’s our roundup of the most badass card art from The Boomsday Project. Did we miss a particularly badass piece of art? Do you have a favorite card from this expansion that maybe isn’t quite that badass but is still awesome? Let us know in the comments!
For me in mage it's Luna's Pocket Galaxy, one of the most beautiful arts ever
I love Dr Boom but the Boomship is way more badass.
Druid: I can accept Landscaping, though I think its close between that and Floop's Glorious Gloop (esp golden)
Hunter: Flark's Boom-Zooka kinda wins by default. hunter card art is...not great...in this set
Mage: definitely right on Cosmic Anomaly, though Luna's Pocket Galaxy deserves special mention
Paladin: Autodefense Matrix, yup
Priest: Zerek, Master Cloner, yup
Rogue: uh...what are you smoking? Crazed Chemist is the absolute worst card art in the set. I'd probably go Pogo-Hopper here.
Shaman: Storm Chaser is like an elemental luchador, i think that automatically makes it the best card art in the set. I quite like Thunderhead and Menacing Nimbus as well, though
Warlock: no. Demonic Project probably gets the nod here, though like hunter, its a bit by default
Warrior: the 3rd bad pick after rogue and warlock. I vote for Rocket Boots here. that goblin looks so happy!
Neutral: Harbinger Celestia is a more bad-ass Cosmic Anomaly, she has to take this, but Coppertail Imposter is reeeeeally close for me
I absolutely LOVE the original Dr. Boom face. Far more than the new one they drew up. His smug look is just 'Muwah!' gorgeous!
I know, right?
Wonder if just me but i like the original Dr.Boom face much more then the new one.
You’re telling me they picked SOUL INFUSION and CRAZED CHEMIST?! What looks cool is literally a matter of personal opinion, but I find Crazed Chemist’s art super off-putting, like it just doesn’t fit the style. AT ALL. I would have gone for Myra or Necrium Vial over that card. Personally, Soularium is WAY more badass than Soul Infusion.
For me, these are the best golden card animations for each class:
Druid: Juicy Psychmelon
Hunter: Cybertech Chip that injection animation tho!
Mage: Cosmic Anomaly
Paladin: Autodefense Matrix
Priest: Zerek, Master Cloner
Rogue: Pogo-Hopper I mean come on, it actually bounces
Shaman: Storm Chaser
Warlock: Demonic Project
Warrior: Rocket Boots
Neutral: Harbinger Celestia ah, I wish she wasn't such a bad card, I would craft her golden if she was a great legendary like lich king.
and here are some honorable mentions:
Floop's Glorious Gloop, Bomb Toss, Luna's Pocket Galaxy, Electra Stormsurge, Voltaic Burst, Beakered Lightning, The Soularium, Mecha'thun, Whizbang the Wonderful, Star Aligner, E.M.P. Operative, Spark Drill, Galvanizer, Spark Engine, Cloakscale Chemist, Upgradeable Framebot
man we're in agreement on all but druid and hunter (and i'm going off even the non-golden, tho most if not all get the nod there too for me). even a lot of the same HMs... i should have have just +1ed your post instead of bothering to make my own xD
I have a Golden Boom-Zooka, but I'm considering dusting it. The art is nice, but the card seems unplayable.
I think it can be use as a board clear and a way to thin your deck.
Necrium Vial anyone?
Is there a voting on those things? Cause if thats the Sites decision then HP you are on drugs...
The dude on Soul Infusion from afar looks like Crash Bandicoot on steroids
LMAO it does
you know, i say the dr boom full art makes him look more silly than the card art. i had no idea the suite looked so comically lop sided with the legs being so small. but with the card art you kinda get the impression of the whole suite being bigger.
or at least thats my opinion/
and not only that but your opponent also plans for this one, mirror entity is at least a surprise that some players will trip into.
Thanks! More of this please
Zerek, Master Cloner has without doubt one of the nicest art in the set, especially in gold! I just love the colours on that card, especially when combined with Priest's white background.
My favorite art of the exp is probably Weaponized Pinata, everything about the card is cool
