I really dig the artwork! Are there more surrealist/absurd cards? (Given the sheer numbers, I'm guessing yes)

    Certainly, but it's finding them that's the hard part!

    Scryfall does have tags for Surreal/Surrealism, but it hardly feels complete. I'm also not sure if MC Escher-inspired cards count as surrealism, but if so that would include things like Bootlegger's Stash.

    A lot of the art on the Duskmourn Archenemy cards play around in a similar space.

    Another plane we've only seen on 2 cards also has some reality bending art

    Lastly a lot of individual mill cards seem to have pretty surreal art, like Tome Scour, Millstone, Fraying Sanity, Sweet Oblivion, Mystic Redaction, or Fractured Sanity

    Nice finds, Thanks!

    I didn't realize that scryfall had art filters as well. Still seems to find quite a few.

    What's the story of these Scheme cards? They don't seem to be legal anywhere.

    Ohh this is interesting! A pattern emerges. The og millstone too.
