Hey, i saw in ask wizards today that cards in china sometimes have different arts, i was wondering if anyone had any of these arts they could post because im justb curious about the art, ive attached all the pics i could find on mtg.com
I think that if you look up any chinese card whose American equivalent has a skeleton on it that you will see different art. I can't remember if the chinese ban or disapprove of such images but its a goof guideline to find a couple I believe.

You're obviously an ignorant conservative. I blame your hill-billy Mom and Dad.
Something liek skeleton or decaying monsters are not well liked due to the fact it defiles and disrespectes the dead (which Chinese culture is rather sensitive with).

Is that girl getting bitten by that Horned Turtle wearing jeans? :weird3:
Also strange how the alternate Unworthy Dead art is credited to two different artists.

The islands were changed to give them a more home based feeling for the lands in china. And they are made different then what americans islands look like.

Could you elaborate. This does not make much sense. I personaly have no idea why the art changed for some of these cards like Starlit Angel. Some of the Chinese arts are cool though.

Yeah, that's what China is like...extremely totalitarian. Lots of censorship there. They're the government that banned Google, and still bans about every single website on the internet that isn't owned by the government.
Maybe the changed the Hulking Cyclops because they thought the muscles were a bit too...uh, rippling? :confused3:

If evolution is outlawed, then only outlaws will evolve.
Some call it "The Great Firewall of China", which I think is an amusing pun Well, they tried banning Google, but only could for two weeks. But they still ban a lot of stuff.
