There's a lot of cards from The Dark that stand out, especially in white, as they were still approaching that color as lawful evil. [[Tividar's Crusade]] isn't just visually violent, but is also tonally violent.


guyawn

Jeez, that one's heavy.


Barker333

Came here to say this. I didn't fully agree with the ban on \[\[Crusade\]\] and \[\[Jihad\]\] , and obviously real world violence and fantasy violence aren't the same, but holy shit this card is literally genocide and parading around the corpse. It's a great early example of "White isn't nice".


swearholes

The art and flavor in The Dark is just so different and is a big reason why it's my favorite set. You won't see cards that look like [[Martyr's Cry]] or [[Witch Hunter]] anymore, and you barely saw them then. It's such a weird outlier of a set in terms of aesthetics.

My vote goes to either [[Deflecting Palm]] because those fingerbones are gnarly, or [[Victim of Night]] because that's a *lot* of blood


nyx-weaver

Holy shiitt, I never even looked at the attacker's hand in Deflecting Palm! That's like...Mortal Kombat level.


guyawn

Ooo, victim of night is a great choice, that man is having a bad time.

Interesting choice! This one always came across more absurdist to me, but this is definitely a personal thing.


MopeyN

It looks like a piece of art that you would see in a museum, if not in context of MTG. That makes it more uncanny, in my opinion. It looks almost too realistic and this makes my theater of mind just play. The more you look the bizarre "circle of life", the "worse" it gets, in my opinion.   Hit me up when your project/video is done, I'd happy to see it (I'm not too frequently here, so I might miss it if not notified if that's not too much to ask for). Good luck!

[[Triumph of Cruelty]] is fairly violent but for a less blood-and-guts violence you might look at [[Triumph of Ferocity]]. I know people who saw the latter as much more concerning than a lot of other magic art because of the parallel to images of domestic violence and/or rape.


dancingmadkoschei

Which is absolutely ridiculous given the context. These two actually factually hate each other and it's clearly nothing to do with an intimate relationship, just "you caused this, fix it or I'll kill you." Magic really needs to stop caring about the opinion of people who don't know the context of the cards.


Jane_Fen

It doesn’t make a lot of sense, it’s just that the pose that they were in, without context, didn’t look great.

Both of these are extremely mild imo


Zoomoth9000

"violent" doesn't mean "gory," and like 90% of the cards suggested are really just mildly violent with lots of gore.
