This was super refreshing to watch. Most people these days when they open packs just throw away the commons and uncommons without taking a closer look at potentially beautiful cards with a gorgeous artwork. The video was entertaining and very educational, can't wait for the next one! 😊

This is such a wildly good look into who these artists are and their art styles, something most don't think to look into that much. Fantastic video JLuv!

Finally! Somebody is actually talking about the ART and acknowledging how we have never ever EVER had it this good ever. Such a wonderful time to be a collector. For my newcomer to watch, I recommend Rika who drew the 151 Dragonair. Or Haru Akasaka who drew the OF Gloom.
