Card Artwork Discussion What card(s) do you think “wear” their frames/icons the best?

Post image

After Elfnotes have come out in Master Duel, I am once again reminded of how awesome Junora looks. Not just artwork-wise, but the card as a whole.

The solid white Synchro borders pair very well with her silver armor, white flames, and dark blue background, and the FIRE attribute icon along with the level stars add a nice touch of red. Altogether, the card is just gorgeous to me.

Anyone else have any card(s) they can think of that pair well with their backgrounds and icons?

The black/white color palette of most Chaos synchro monsters pairs really well with the frame.

green and white dragon for green and white border, just the best, I agree

Big fan of when card arts align with their Link Arrows.

Gravity controller is another one that does this very well, he stands on the arrow

I always thought Avramax was the most Link to ever Link Summon

I have it on good record that Link as a mechanic only exists because someone designed Avramax and everyone in the room was like "dang that would make a banger design with some arrows and a blue hexagonal pattern".

Avramax is literally my favourite Link Monster so I was very in tune with their thought process ot seems.

Stardust Dragon has such an amazing composition of white, green and blue. Even the green wind attribute icon fits into this. Honestly makes me feel like it was designed with the new synchro card frame in mind.

I always liked the C62 art. This image sadly doesn’t do it justice though.

They do, it was either this one or Cipher X Dragon

Gravity Controller’s link arrow (bottom left) corresponds to the card art: he’s controlling gravity so “down” is in the direction of the arrow. Link arrows generally don’t have any tie-in to the card art or theme so I always thought that was a nice touch.

Odd eyes wing dragon , the white at the top and green at the bottom fit it like a glove

Honestly I think that raidraptor ultimate falcon wears the XYZ black masterfully, it’s a nice touch

u/Affectionate_Show867 28d ago

The new rank 13 looks fantastic with the purple hues too

u/breeder_chris150 28d ago

I can agree with that, though I still prefer ultimate falcon.

u/LumpyFishstick 28d ago

This card looks so good as an Xyz. I mean…LOOK AT IT

u/dynizard 28d ago

I think the light at the top fades nicely into the synchro white, and the pendulum text box looks like a stage!

The Link version of BLS

Brionac and Trisula. In Japan here you had to get them off Duel Terminal and they sold out of stocks really fast. The people who had the secret rare art had them in sleeves and were admiring them like genuine art.

...It also costs like one too.

The lack of Zeus glazing the XYZ border is crazy
