Malygos Artwork

So now that Kalecgos is actually in the game, will you change the Malygos artwork?

For those of you who don’t know the Malygos artwork in the game is actually a picture of Kalecgos which not gonna lie is a little bit annoying if you have played WOW.

I understand if this would be difficult as there isn’t any existing artwork for Malygos in WOW so it would have to be made from scratch.

Ye when I found out it kinda bugged me that they would use the wrong artwork.

Malygos and Kalecgos look very similar in WoW. The design is almost identical but Kalec looks more low-res.

What makes you say that the HS artwork for Malygos is really Kalecgos?

Trivia: " This card’s art was originally used to depict Kalecgos in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game . Based upon the selection of Malygos art available at the time, the developers chose to use the image of Kalecgos to represent Malygos despite its technical inaccuracy."

You are welcome :slight_smile:

Team 5 seems to consider recognizing art to be critical to a card, hence their refusal to offer alternate art or to significantly change art where it would be sensible. The longer they wait, the more problematic such a change would be, so it is likely essentially impossible that they would consider this now.

Malygos actually depicting Kalecgos, the chickens shown in Angry Chicken and the Chicken token from Gnomish Experimenter having what one could refer to as switched art, and various other conflicts have yet to be resolved for that reason.
