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.
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".
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.
Not entirely violent, but I know a few gory / body horror-y cards.
\[\[Disembowel|RAV\]\]
\[\[Mortal Wound\]\]
\[\[Bile Blight|F14\]\]
\[\[Macabre Waltz|DIS\]\]
\[\[Tivadar's Crusade\]\]
\[\[Death Frenzy\]\]
\[\[Brisela, Voice of Nightmares\]\]
\[\[Lotleth Troll\]\]
\[\[Carrion Beetles\]\]
\[\[Smallpox|M12\]\]
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!
\[\[Surgical Extraction\]\]
\[\[Treacherous Urge\]\]
\[\[Greater Werewolf\]\]
\[\[Sensory Deprivation\]\]
\[\[Vedalken Anatomist\]\]
\[\[Fleshformer\]\]
and the winner for me - \[\[Transgress the Mind\]\]
[[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.
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.
In addition, consider these:
\[\[Village Cannibals\]\]. Ain't no way the implication as to what's coming next doesn't come across.
\[\[Profane Transfusion\]\]
\[\[Traitor's Clutch\]\]
\[\[Wretched Banquet\]\]
\[\[Viscera Dragger\]\]
\[\[Inkfathom Witch\]\]
\[\[Bloodied Ghost\]\]
I thought the 2020 collectors edition damnation was pretty violent. It looks cool too. Abomination of Llanowar is pretty graphic in concept too without blood.
I'm very surprised I haven't seen [[Dismember]]. I pulled a foiled one back in New Phyrexia, and that with [[Grave Titan]] was really what set me on the path to black when I first started.

My vote goes to either [[Deflecting Palm]] because those fingerbones are gnarly, or [[Victim of Night]] because that's a *lot* of blood
Holy shiitt, I never even looked at the attacker's hand in Deflecting Palm! That's like...Mortal Kombat level.
Ooo, victim of night is a great choice, that man is having a bad time.
I'm still not convinced Quentin Tarantino didn't illustrate that card.
It actually took me till this time looking at it to realize that he still has arms, they're just holding what's left of his guts in.

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