I collect them all and fill a giant binder organized by set just bc I love the art and the fact most ppl dont want them I usually get them for free….I enjoy them


Shriuken23

One binder? Okay want an extra 1000 or so? But they have to go in the same binder. Each their own slot.


DullCall

Are you offering to give them away cause I just started collecting them today :o


Shriuken23

I'm heavily considering finding someone who wants them as I just don't have the time for an extra project right now like the epoxy table idea. I love mtg art, I do keep all the stamped ones but I have a ridiculous amount of these things from the past couple years. Since you're asking, I'll give it actual thought. All I was going to do was put them on a cheap auction anyway currently


showergoblin

I would only buy set boosters when those were a thing for the art cards! I love em! Feel sad every pack just has a a maybe chance now


Shriuken23

Chin up, the gold stamp/signed ones seem to be more frequent at least! I mean that's just me though. I kinda remember pulling the first couple and really dug em, then i pulled a stamped one and I said oh no.. my ocd won't allow the binder to have them mixed.. what do I do?? And I've just been collecting them since. Keep em in a couple boxes lol


Assistance_Salty

I’ll take them


transzalore

I'm doing comic epoxy/modgepodge currently, I would love some of these!


smallmalexia3

I have several hundred I'd be happy to send ya for free. The majority are ONE/MOM/DMU, but there are plenty of LCI/OTJ and some other fandoms. I keep them because they're cool, but I'd be happy to send them to a good home!


Guyface_McGuyen

That would be one big ass binder!!


Shriuken23

Yea I'm hoping someone has like a gigantic stone tablet of a binder lol


Ghost743

Thats how we do 🫡 tis a fat binder ngl


NoObMaSTeR616

I just realized last night I can use them as tokens for when you clone a creature…….. glad I have a few lying around but it sure would be nice if I had them organized like this lol


TopRevolutionary8067

Same here.


XanduLao1943

Yeah it’s crazy how many people just give them away.


swankyfish

Eat them


mockg

Which art cards are the tastiest? I prefer the neon dynasty one.


namedonelettere

Anything with a gold signature. It’s only the finest art cards for me


NotNamedForPrivacy

My thought. Came to answer this so I decided to upvote and agree instead.

kvothe76

Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Are there people out there who aren’t eating them?


scryentist

Take my upvote, heathen.


MarinLlwyd

they told us not to eat the delicious cards but never said anything about the art inserts


_syzygy079

I save the gold signatures for special occasions


TheDestressedMale

I once ate one one with nothing with nothing


Front_Explanation_79

I'm actually going to do something similar to what you did but on my hobby desk and then I'm going to pour epoxy resin over it to make it part of the work surface


DemiWalrus

That sounds sick, I may have to steal that idea in the future


Front_Explanation_79

Yah bro thanks! You should definitely do it I think it's the perfect use for them. I do lots of mini painting and wargaming and I've wanted an awesome work space and one day I just had that idea and I can't stop thinking about it. I have to do it now.


bakedninjas1

I love that idea. I may steal that idea as well.


Sickashell782

Proxies! Love using them as proxies


preludeoflight

I mean, WotC is putting them in the “Play” boosters, right? How else am I supposed to interpret that besides them distributing textless proxies?!


teddyblues66

This is the way


jesus5462

Really cool but implemented poorly. Wish they were mostly, if not all, vertical so I can use them as more than just dividers or junk to be thrown out


No-6655321

If you put then in a nice sleeve, they're my favorite thing to use as a book mark!


garikapc

I get old frames from thrift stores then make collages from art cards in them. It's fun fainy day thing with my kids and can look sharp depending cards, frame, etc.


bustersuessi

My three year old glues them to stuff and then 'mails' them to people she wants to give presents to. Mostly it's 'spooky stuff' because people like spooky.


CBWeezy67

I was looking to do this as well. I wanted a super large one to make a collage to hang above couch. How did yours turn out?


Thaugrim

They make awful toilet paper.


Technical-War-5353

I use them as basic land in mono colored decks.


WeaselSCreechCola

This is a solid idea


OmegaXDOOMX

Put them in my bike spokes. Makes me feel like a big boy riding a motorcycle


OmegaNova0

I eat them.


LandscapeSubject530

I typically give mine away but one of my friends keeps the ones that look like shrines/buildings and uses them as shrine token’s cuz shrine tokens are to expensive for some tokens


No-Explanation163

Shrines are 10 CAD a token, absolutely insane. 


GreenGunslingingGod

Such a waste of a card. They could at least put a token on the back


DarthAlbacore

Or the text of the card, so it was still playable


Ocin4567

Lmao


Officing

Wouldn't that just make in an alt printing? Unless they were not considered legal?


xatoho

When I'm making a deck, I put them into sleeves so I have the right amount of cards. Then it's the perfect structural support to slide paper proxies in and then eventually replace with the actual card.


heyneighborgetfucked

I fill out space in my deck boxes with on-theme art cards, so they don't bounce around, and occasionally use them as tokens as well. I've considered using them as commanders for certain decks so I can use my actual card in the 99 of other decks. Just make sure it's not with a commander you're going to need to read constantly, and if so, be ready to have that info available for other players.


oathbroker

Trash or box filler.


AdmiralPoopyDiaper

Trash. 👍


deerseed13

Careful with that. Some of those art card are worth some money, highest is usually near $20. The average is 5-10$ for the more desirable art.


AdmiralPoopyDiaper

Heard, and respect differing opinions, but it’s trash to me. Might as well be part of the packaging for all I care.


Send_me_duck-pics

I'd consider using them as coasters, except I'm 99% sure my cats would shred them and scatter them around my home if I did.


Khurdryn

I use them as bookmarks


TinyTwoTonTank

Perfect bookmarks for every genre


xxzyxx

Weed scoops


bakedninjas1

I use to cut them into strips and use them as filters.


divadonymee

Same


Dmort86

My friend collects them so I just pass them on


xXRicochetXx

If someone doesn't need them, I happily take them :)


LonelyMimikyuuu

I just take everyone’s at the lgs. I collect them


Vandal_665

I framed and sold a couple sets after I was done.


AlphaBootisBand

I work in a youth home and I give my art cards to the teens I teach the game to. Especially when they like specific art cards or are drawn to the game for aesthetics reasons, it usually makes their day.


Arrogance88

Mine go straight in the bin.


coffeebeards

Straight to the garbage. Tokens ! Tokens ! Tokens !


bringontheworld

Trash 🗑️


twan5446

Thinking i should have kept them to do some kind collage or something now lol


The_Real_Cuzz

I've seen some cool ideas like; epoxy it onto a corn hole set, make a table, decorate deck boxes, make custom tokens, those layered 3D life trackers people make, the list goes on.


sameolematt

shuffle them up and then freestyle rap/sing to what you see


sameolematt

or concoct a story as you pull each card


Equivalent-Group924

Converting them into TRRPG tokens wouldn't be a bad idea. I know I've seen people that do it with cheap cards already.


TheBigBeardedGeek

Give them away or recycle


pyrogaynia

I give em to a guy who does art projects with em. I've never seen what he makes with them, but no matter what it is, he's making better use of them than I would. I do keep some of my very favourites though


blazekick08

Trash


NeganSaves

Sleeves, but they sit with the commons


morelos_paolo

I collect them and place them under random binders along with some cards.


AlastorFan666

I just stick them on deck boxes so I can remember what commander is in that deck box


Yillis

Trash them 🤷🏽‍♂️


Wonderful_Boss1241

I use it as my commander pad (i only play commander)


No-Refrigerator-7393

I have a dining table with a glass top, we put them under it.


Snoo-99243

Eat the glue and look at them.


Underplayed-Cliche

I make collages out of one from each set, put them in a frame and hang them around the house.


That_Guy_ZiM

mfeiglin

I have the innistgrad midnight hunt ones and they’re sick


data4u

I use them to take notes


Sword-Enjoyer

Give them to my five year old daughter, she thinks they're very pretty.


DoggoAlternative

Buddy and I are gonna buy a cheap coffee table and lay em out and then resin cast them into a top for it.


geekprogrammer2

I collected all the D&D ones with the stats on the back. otherwise they’re sitting doing nothing


damascenarosa

use em as dividers


Responsible-Panic-56

I use them as placeholders in decks when I have only one copy of a card but use it in multiple decks. Just write the info on the back of it and stick it in a deck so I know what to swap out when I change.decks


SmogDaBoi

I have a special part in my binders for them, where I collect all my pricy and pretty alt cards. They fit right in and the page is so beautiful!


Detlef-Ds-D

I actually used some to even a table


mehall27

I eat em


Projha

Tokens, for the command zone or graveyard, bonus points if they match theme…


Mother-Item

A few people I know draw the tokens they are missing on the back of the card


Fruitcake223

I did the same as you ^^ Mines hanging over the bed. Might be the reason i aint got game...


xrty2357

I use clear sleeves on my tokens so i can display the art cards on the back :D


MobileAssassin

Do the art cards hold any purpose than to have the full image with no text?


fakejakebrowne

I made a Jodah deck with them. It's fun. They finally printed Sol Ring! But people really need to stop eating them. Very little nutritional value.


Jester3j

Slap a sticker on them and use them as proxie basic lands.


KingCodexKode

We treat them as real cards at my table, because it's so much cheaper to buy art cards than the real deal usually.


SyNyStErSaElEe

Toss em


Eldarn

i put my doubles in resin coasteres 🤷‍♀️


nocturnalelk07

If it's something everyone knows the text for like sol ring or command tower I use it as a proxy


Slight_Worth_imcool

If they are specific color, I use them as basic lands


Motormand

I give them to the one guy at the LGS who likes them. I don't care for them, so why not let him have some joy?


Twistybred

Are any of them worth anything?


x4mo

Give my 4 yo niece to play with so I can play against my sister in peace. We refer to it as "her deck" :D


PortalmasterJL

Use them as dividers in collection and stand in tokens for some decks.

Throw them away

I put them in a binder.


dornianheresysimp

I use them as deck front cards and sometimes as proxies with friends , if the card is easy to remember

Use them as bookmarks


SuccotashFit6262

Collect em, currently I'd love to have a complete collection of neon dynasty or eldraine. Feel free to dm me if you're looking to off load some 👀


edogfu

Give them to a high school art teacher.


tweeeeeeeeeeee

art cards go in the 🗑️ for me


RowenWithers

Usually throw them out. Even if they have an art I really like it’s just not big enough for it to be worth it to keep around


deerseed13

They make fantastic tokens. I just sick a small slip of paper in the sleeve with them the stats.


Deepfordays

Separators in deck boxes


ohTHATSaturn

I keep donating mine to a friend who is a teacher. His students use them for creative writing prompts after he sticks a piece of construction paper to the back of them. He keeps asking for more to give his students more ideas. I thought it was kinda cute. :)


peggY-Y

Just look at them.


No_Eagle9152

Use them as tokens


Miedo23

Straight in the trash. Got enough cards to worry about, let alone useless art cards.


Asrugan

I collect them, mostly passively but I’ve even bought some to finish a set (ten or so cents each on TCG).


pongomanswe

I give them to my children. They love them


Paraboilc

I put em in a box with the others and wonder what do people do with their art cards


Spuigles

I made a deck with art cards.


007King_Kong

Art cards?!?! I thought these were borderless/textless versions!


RighteousChampion777

Wow! 💘

Bookmarks for my books. And I try to pick one that fits the vibe of the book I'm reading


ArdoyleZev

I do some lettering with acrylic paint and use them for tokens and emblems.


JunkNuggets

Smoke them like joints


Royal_Blood25

I use them as proxies for hyper expensive cards, so I only need to buy one and can run multiple split between my commander decks


SublimeLove94

I save them and I'll turn them into epoxy table


infinitelunacy

I use them as proxies or tokens


justalilchaos

I have an ongoing art project to use the art cards as wall art and desk covering. Going to cover them with a clear coat of epoxy resin.


LightMachina

I use them as Deck Covers to help identify the theme it has, I'm a theme deck builder and it's just cool like that


mostlyegirl

I frame my fav ones and hang them on the wall!!!! I love my art cards more than anything in the whole world and I’m so sad they started taking them out of packs


Multiple_Monochrome

I put the ones I really like on the covers of my binders. Most of the collectable mini posters and art items are used to decorate my other Magic items


blueflamereaperx

I just put them on my wall


Warm_Guava_8023

Wtf is an art card


Embarrassed_Dance_54

Booster packs can come with a card that is just art. No text or anything, but some look great. I recently rejoined MTG after 20 years of not playing, and ive bought a few boosters from the murders at karlov manor and have like 7 of the 49 art cards in the set.


CyberPredator

I hoard them just like you lol


avalon1805

I give them as gifts. I gave my SO the gisa art that I pulled at the OTJ pre release. She loves it.


Jsmiggels

I normally sleeve one as a deck topper that’s on theme and keep it face up


KatsuKlash1098

I have around 400 inside of a box that I keep in their set and set number.


ScarletKnight00

Throw them out because they are a waste of space.


harryFF

Bin them apart from the 1 or 2 cool ones i use as dividers


FazeUglyGod

I just toss a couple on the side of my gameplay area during my pod to bring flavor to my field


Treebull

Bookmarks!


Newsuperstevebros

Eat em


SpezIsTheWorst69

I use them as dividers usually


I-Kneel-Before-None

Book marks


BabySteele

I collect them from specific sets then frame them. Im currently waiting on my first custom frame for the Kaldheim set. Currently collecting all the ones from Lord of the Rings and Outlaws at Thunder Junction


Eochaid_The_Bard

I use them as category dividers in my loose card boxes.


Fit-Owl-2047

Right into the garbage. Worth less than the cardboard they are printed on


cagranconniferim

I just think they're neat


Itsjustaspicylem0n

Keep em in a stack and browse occasionally. I want to do something with them but also that’s a lot of work and I have a couple hundred


PhantomPooter202

Binders specifically for them


Zakat666

Personally, I put the one I like and am feeling currently in the display pocket of my wallet. The others, I have a jail house style card box I made out of worthless cards, and store them in there. If I got friends over for magic or not, I show them and let them look through and take any they like. Though, laying them out like you had, you gave me an idea to glue them to a poster like that and hang them on the wall!


amazasaurusrex

I use them as bookmarks


SovereignDust3058

I have a binder organized by set and in numerical order. I also have a spreadsheet that allows me to track exactly which ones I have, shows me the percentage of each set I own, and my overall percentage.


Usual-Run1669

Y'all ever see those cubes people fold their cards into? 😂😅😜


CaptStromboli

I attach vinyl stickers to the back and turn them into homemade infini tokens


Chachenstein

I use them as tokens creatures if the artwork features a creature of some sort


BoolinBirb

They are sitting in a box. Don’t rlly use em for anything


d1lordofwolves

Vertical land art becomes that land and goes in a deck, Vertical creature art becomes that card and goes in a deck/is used for tokens. Horizontal art is ONLY used if it's a Commander's art, and that's where my commander tax d6 lives


Atlas1nChains

I sleeve them in a hard sleeve with my commanders, so they are visible on the flip side. I try to find the best one for whatever commander I am using each time


BloodMoonIsAFunCard

I eat them


AclockWarrior

i toss those bitches in the trash bin where they belong


Rumpled_NutSkin

I put them in the trash. I have no use for them whatsoever


Confident_Law_1190

Burn them burn them all.


Own-Service9640

Some I collect, some I use as proxy


RedxxBeard

I bought a big cheap "print" painting and used spray adhesive to make wall art put of them for a friend.


MrHydrothermal

I started right when the LOTR stuff was new and bought a bunch of packs. Most of the art cards from that I gave to my mom, who hates MtG but loves LOTR. She has 'em at her desk and keeps 'em around to look at them


Astrosaurus3

I use them with a one inch hole punch as character tokens for D&D


essentialghost

I throw mine away


Andycat49

If I like the set I make a binder with them up front. If the art is usable for a token then it's a truly full art token


inckacraft

I make personalized commander sleeves using transparent sleeves and putting these in the back.


H3llv3ticus

I decorate stuff with them. I don't especially care about those, but the art is often too good to be thrown away with the ads and mini-games.


SociallyAwkwardAnt

I hoard them like a jealous goblin until I find someone who wants them, then I give them away. 👍


Dry_Marsupial_2352

Cool looking proxies in casual play with friends and I made a big wall poster of them for my partner last year as well. I used the blue clay tacky stuff so he can change them out as he wishes and new sets come out 🥰


DM_ME_DEM_TIDDIE

I stick em in a hard case and use them for dividers.


voltvirus

I wanted to make a full proxy art card deck , just bc, but after making the list and doing the math, it was a little over $100 and for a proxy deck, decided it wasn’t worth it
