I'm an old-school 'Magic: the Gathering' player. I don't use to play it anymore, but i was undefeated when i did with my friends at school. As they all went alway, we stopped playing the cards! But i still have all of them!
Here's the sage Kitsune, Eight-and-a-half Tails. This name is cuz his ninth tails was docked by himself, who judged to not deserve it for his ingenous deeds... He's the most good-looking, well drew of all kitsunes on the cards. He's my fav card. It would take more then one-hundred black lotus cards to convince me trading it!

That's interesting, that you pointed out... The artist who made him, Daren Bader(Yeah, i wrote wrongly on the text above...), a painter, used some very particular features on him-
Behold his whole nobility on the original artwork, the card itself: http://www.wizards.com/magic/images.....s_1024x768.jpg
Every card has an unique painting on it. That card edition was the first in which anthro foxes were included! The kitsune-bito(Fox folk), as they were named... But, considering that lack of creativity would lead lots of artist to pre-concept appearances based on human-embassed verossimilitude, grand part of the exposed Kitsune look like "cliché", with excessively humanized features. Daren Bader was the one who overcame this pattern and created - much probably, as far as i am concerned - a Kitsune that looks mostly perfect, like the anthro artists we all now and admire! This card represents the kitsune patronum, and, so it is easily to state why he must have been the only one to be drew with that level of conceptual quality...
Ahem... ...
The fun on playing those cards is creating perfect strategies, combinations and plays that would make the game really exciting, and make people say like 'unbelievable!'. The may sound man-ly, but i knew some ladies who played too(Although rare); Compared to Yu-Gi-Oh!, it is a cheap card game...
All my cards are beloved to me, cuz they both high-quality art and cogs of my complex strategies... How cool is that ???
