In this artwork, you can see a person trying to collect some light-looking source on top of Coldlight Lurker's head. The cool thing about this art is that if she would've successfully collected the light source (which is displayed in the game by Dredging into a Murloc), the other Coldlight Lurker would've started chasing her while the other one would've stayed hidden in the seaweed, that's why it summons an additional 1/1 Murloc.

Details On Cards

[Feel free to click on the image to open a full-sized version]

In this artwork, you can see a creature trying to steal a Murloc egg while it's getting chased by 2 other Murlocs (that's why it draws 3 Murlocs in total).

This artwork is interesting, because Coral Keeper summons this Coral Elemental for each spell school you've cast this game, and that's why the corals on top of Coral Elemental have different colors - Nature (brown), Fire (orange), Frost (blue), Arcane (purple), Fel (green), Holy (can possibly be the yellow part), Shadow (dark blue).

In this artwork, you can see that there's a city in the distance.

In this artwork, you can see a small deep-water Murloc (which is also related to the 2 cards on the image) hiding behind a rock.

In this artwork, you can see the poor pirate basically before he dies after the curse spirits drag him down to the bottom of the ocean while also stealing his mask that allowed him to breath.

In this artwork, you can see some big underwater creatures (could be the same species as Blackwater Behemoth) looking to attack a ship on the top of the ocean - another Dredge mechanic reference.

In this artwork, you can see why this card is called Mothership. And yes, I also thought these things on top were lights.

In this artwork, you can see how the artwork makes sense with the Dredge mechanic, a pirate is collecting some treasure from the bottom of the ocean.

In this artwork, you can see that Pufferfist has a map tattooed on his belly + an anchor on top of his head. The weird thing about this art is... Why is there a light in that sunken ship?

In this artwork, you can see that Twin-fin Fin Twin is actually not surfing on a surfing board but on a shark instead!

Other References

In this part, you're able to see a few really cool references.

[Feel free to click on the image to open a full-sized version]

This artwork is probably not the most interesting one, but if you closely look at the Shark on Captain Hooktusk's belt, you can see that the old shark had teeth while the new one doesn't, does that mean she's now less furious? :-)

This artwork is a reference to a famous painting by Spanish artist Francisco Goya - Saturn Devouring His Son, if you want to learn more about that, click HERE.

This artwork was made as a joke by the devs to be a reference to a Holy Mackerel being dead and cooked into Sushi.
