Have we seen Magali's work in this game yet? Aside from preexisting art, I mean.Looking awesome, though still an unnerving lack of Magali artwork are they saving all this for chapter pack covers? Makes sense >.<
She's not working on 2nd Edition.
Suddenly 2nd edition saved me a whole lot of money if that bombshell is completely legit. Like with LOTR, the evocative and believable characterisation on the art is the most valuable core of these games. In comparison to where 1st edition had reached and where LOTR is at, this seems horrifically weak so far. (Besides Summer, that is a gorgeous card. So maybe there's hope)
Almost all of the new artwork is awesome. Cersei sucks, and some of the reused pieces aren't great, but overall I find it very appealing.
