The Magic Art of Terese Nielsen 

@BTIsaac you do realise that this comment is 3 years old and i have zero fucking clue what the fuck are you talking about? I only commented that I liked the video, what the fuck are you on??

@BTIsaac and what am I supposed to do about it? My comment is 3 years old and should be considered in the context of its time. If I read it right I was writing about a goosebumps I was getting while listening to narration and watching art.

@BTIsaac Yet, you are simping for a boy who is pretending to be a woman... 🤦

@@AlleonoriCat Let's not feed the trolls.

Yeah I agree. The art is undeniably incredible, even though I find more and more to dislike about the person. Maybe put a disclaimer or something.

why would it be taken down?

@@krackencrusader403 because she is a racist "apparently"

@@mosspage9360 white knights at it again?

@@mosspage9360 Oh... okay(?) but why?

Indeed it is important. It shows how the community thought of her prior to someone digging into her Twitter and overanalyzing it.

You jinxed it.

@@isaiahdaniels5643 bruh 😂

@BTIsaac Wow. You are truly the lowest of the low.

​@BTIsaac You can still go to church without being a White Supremacist. Sure, some people that do go to church are White Supremacists, but saying that is unsurprising for someone to be a white Supremacist in a Church is like saying that it's not surprising that a terrorist attack was done by a Muslim person, or that a banker is Jewish. Stop assuming things about people and actually get to know them, you piece of shit.

Yesss. Her work is fantastic. It always has this incredible sense of peace about it

metalsabatico I was thinking the samee. She's my favourite mtg artist

Guay, Villeneuve and Nielsen -- easy picks !!!!

Indeed! Please do Rebecca - my favorite artist, she is just beyond incredible!

Guay! Guay! Guay!

same! screw the sjw haters they slander her name

Gavin Robertson I

thank you my friend.

I'm glad you're here.

Agreed. This is WotC's loss. Guaranteed they are going to lose more business than they gain by pandering to the people who are outraged. These individuals fail to grasp the concept that a person can hold differing beliefs and still be praised for their accomplishments. Terese Nielsen is one of the best artists ever commissioned for MTG.

Tamarocker88 Nahhh.... they’re gonna be just fine. Their sets will still sell out and people will continue scrambling for cards on the secondary market

@@silentmagelvx2925 unfortunately, I think you are right. Well, I'm not buying Magic products anymore, but of all players I know, I'm the only one.

@@silentmagelvx2925 I never said WotC wouldn't be fine. Never said their sets wouldn't sell out. I said "they are going to lose more business than they gain by pandering to the people who are outraged. " Just because this one decision causes a net loss compared to the alternative option of continuing to work with Terese doesn't mean that WotC's financials or set sales are in jeopardy. Just means they made the worse financial decision and will see a dip in revenue because of it. Terese Nielsen's Art means as much to some Magic players as the existence of the color wheel, the existence of artifacts, enchantments, and spells. As much as some people may dislike her opinions, her art is synonymous with MTG.

She's my favorite but she doesn't come close to Chris rush.

@BTIsaac That card had EXCELLENT art, by the way... 🤭

@BTIsaac maybe think of Force of Will. You know, one of the most popular cards in the game. With a beautiful depiction of a woman of color. Stop sniffing your own farts.

BTIsaac Rhystic Study, Force of Will, Guiding Spirit, Keeper of the Flame, and plenty of examples of diverse male cards exist. You’ve been poisoned, seek help.

@BTIsaac ...🤦

this is a strong list.

Yeah 😔

I can't believe it. This woman has done so much for the game! Whos next? Seb McKinnon? Man, this makes me angry....

@@Robert-vk7je Well for the new religion The Cult of Social Justice, any opinion not approved is literally tantamount to violence and thus subject to cancellation

Cancelled for wrong-think. These people are straight out of the novel 1984.

Yup. Kinda done with Wizards.

you're not the only one looking for a Staples video :)

@@RhysticStudies What's the name of the game?

@BTIsaac Considering she isn't, and also not someone that is a fascist, like yourself, pretty damn good, and disappointed in WOTC for not commissing her anymore.

@BTIsaac It's kinda hard to imagine a white supremacist spending time to leave a warm message on a person of color's facebook on their birthday.

@BTIsaac I have never seen anyone believe their own BS as much as you have. 🤦

Which let’s be fair would be the best way to get around the reserved list is with new art

Captain Sweatpants That’s why I bought a foil Basandra, I always wanted one but I never had a good reason to get one.

DeadAccount which printing?

@@chad3166 Conspiracy. I think it's the only version you can get in foil that isn't oversized.

Given that people are calling for all the art made by the nazi who drew the art for invoke prejudice to be banned.... And wizards isn't discriminating between card printing when deciding if they are removing a card from the game.... I wouldn't be surprised if the Ban Force of Will by the end of the year (As wizards may decide to delete entire artists from the game with enough pressure)

thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed. #izzetleague

"and I've been around since the beginning" has to be one of my favorite compliments. thank you man.

Call to Mind is one of my favorite Nielsen pieces as well.

every time I play Call to Mind, I yell out "CAN YOU FEEL ME?" to invoke Tupac Shakur. for me the art on that piece will always be 2Pac.

True, but it will be WotC's loss. Guaranteed they are going to lose more business by cutting ties with her than they would have by refusing to pander to the extreme minority who are outraged. These individuals fail to grasp the concept that a person can hold differing beliefs and still be praised for their accomplishments. Terese Nielsen is one of the best artists ever commissioned for MTG.

Tamarocker88 she was one of the best. Now she’s no longer commissioned and in about a decade, she will just be a memory as people grow attached to new artists who dont hold shit opinions or prey on their community

@@silentmagelvx2925 Terese has been around since the beginning of MTG. If you think she's suddenly going to stop being one of the best artists in MTG's history after a measly 10 years, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you... For most people with an IQ above 30, an artist's work can be enjoyed and praised regardless of their personal opinion. Appreciation of a piece of art is not praise of the entirety of the artist's lifestyle and beliefs. It is entirely possible to appreciate art in and of itself regardless of the artist's personal beliefs. Those beliefs have nothing to do with the art unless they directly inspired or affected it. Prey on their community? How did Terese prey on the MTG community?

Tamarocker88 that’s exactly it, she’s going to be history of a different time. And hey, Im gonna miss her art on cards too, but its not hard to see why a company might not want to be associated with a person holding her views. Also, I was talking about Noah Bradley, who just got outed as a sexual predator and disowned by Wizards

@@silentmagelvx2925 I see the words you're typing, but you're not supporting the claim you made. You said Terese "WAS one of the best". Emphasis mine. Your use of the past tense implies that Terese is no longer one of the best artists in MTG. Her beliefs do not change the quality of her art. It may change your subjective opinion of her as a person, but that is irrelevant to the quality of her work. She still is one of the best MTG artists. She still will be in 10 years. She probably will be considered one of the best MTG artists until the game or its first 20+ years of players die. If you can't appreciate someone's contributions in this world because you disagree with their personal beliefs, you should probably go live on a desolate island by yourself because I guarantee you that nearly every aspect of your life and the technical marvels contained within it are the result of centuries of humans whose beliefs have been as varied and controversial as you can possibly imagine.

True, but it will be WotC's loss. Guaranteed they are going to lose more business by canceling her than they would have if they refused to pander to the people who are outraged. These individuals fail to grasp the concept that a person can hold differing beliefs and still be praised for their accomplishments. Terese Nielsen is one of the best artists ever commissioned for MTG.

@BTIsaac Following alt-right sources on social media does not make one a white supremacist. But go on...

@BTIsaac Fail to see how she's a white supremacist. Just cause she followed some right wing media? So everybody needs to have the same point of view?

@BTIsaac OMG you are dense . Nothing of what u mentioned is true. So millions of people that enjoyed her art now hold her beliefs? Cos she followed someone? I have thousand of follows for all kind of reasons . Could not tell u what 90% of them do , feel or believe... please do tell me - i was always interested how people like you manage to survive on their own? How do tie your shoes ???

@BTIsaac give me an example of anybody who she followed is a actual "white supremacist" I'm subscribed to the Young Turks do I agree with everything they say? No am I a lefty? No so why? Because it's good to get viewpoints of all sides and some things I actually can agree with just like FOX news something's I can agree with. Just cause she followed alt right media doesn't really mean that she's a white supremacist even if it was a white supremacist you can agree with some things and disagree with others.

awesome to hear! shoutout to J&J

thanks :)

I'm glad you're here!

ain't that piece something special? reviewing that one could be a video entirely in itself.
