It’s official, and classic! The first few years, there were not really any guidelines; the artist was given the name of the card (and its color, I think) to illustrate, and that’s it.

Got my dad some old mtg cards on ebay for his 50th
They should make tee shirts off this illustration
Is this official? It just looks too funny lol

Sometimes artists weren’t even given the name of the card. The original art for enlightened mystic was supposed to be for another card entirely
