For 30 years, Magic: The Gathering has been built on the innovation, ingenuity, and hard work of talented people who sculpt a beautiful, creative game. That isn’t changing. Our internal guidelines remain the same with regard to artificial intelligence tools: We require artists, writers, and creatives contributing to the Magic TCG to refrain from using AI generative tools to create final Magic products. We work with some of the most talented artists and creatives in the world, and we believe those people are what makes Magic great.
Recent art is so bland it may as well be AI generated and nobody would notice. I am not critisizng artists, they do wonderful job as seen by the sketches. It is the art direction and post processing that makes everything look the same… Exactly like generic AI art. /rant
