I am fascinated with Magic card art, but I unfortunately remember only the names of some of the prominent artists from the first set of Magic I ever played, Revised. Guys like Greg Staples and Christopher Rush came up with some of the iconic, most recognizable artwork from the entire card game. Amy Weber drew the skeletons on one of my favorite pieces ever, Time Walk.
Card pages now link to their artists, and the artist pages contain lists of all artwork created by those artists. There are also some basic charts that should become more useful as I make more sense of the MOTL data. It will be interesting to see whether the popularity of the card artwork or even the artist can influence the value of a card in the long run.

I'd really like it if the page that listed every card for a set also listed every cards current price. Currently it just lists the name of the card and so if I want to quickly compare how much a card is going for I have to click on every card, remember the price, hit the back button, and then click on another card.
Anyway, not sure if this is the right place to put this kind of feedback. I really like the site by the way. It is kind of fun to see how the price changes over time.

This is absolutely the right place for this kind of feedback.
The alphabetical card lists are indeed very basic. I will try to get the prices in there to make the pages more useful. If you've got any other feedback, comment on these posts or shoot me an email.

Greg Staples never illustrated any Revised cards.
