The only version of this card that hasn't the Kev Walker artwork. Kev is one of my all-time favourite artists and his artwork for the shade is good but I like this original artwork better somehow. The imagination of this lost soul in its haunted labyrinth of pipes has that certain something.

I agree. The other artwork isn't bad (even though it resembles a sliver more than any other shade's artwork), but this one feels more appropriate for a shade that's supposed to be looming.

Shades are spiritish creatures, a sort of ghost. This art has him looking too physical.

One of my all time favorite creatures, mostly due to artwork but it's rather good. A cheap creature that gets more dangerous as the game goes on.

I love the hint of grinning teeth beneath his glowing eyes.

The best Looming Shade art.

I like this art, though I wish it were more spectral-looking. This guy could easily be a skeleton or zombie if you're just looking at the art.

It's that guy from that one Disturbed album. You know who I'm talking about.
