This week’s card is one that I knew would make a great mosaic from the moment it showed up on magicthegathering.com as a preview card (and a Mythic Rare) for Shards of Alara: Mayael the Anima.

The very distinct colors and and sharp edges make this piece particularly good for a mosaic, and the beautiful art is total icing on the cake!

When it comes to pictures and art, I’ve always been attracted to the eyes of any figure. If I can’t see the eyes, I have a hard time figuring out who a character is. With Mayael, though, the eyes are clearly the main intent. These eyes bore into you, but their blank stare leaves you wondering what they see. Amazing…
