My vote definitely goes to Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite . The art seems to envoke a sense of total and complete dominance, while still begin seemlessly elegant. Beautiful work in my opinion.

My vote is for Omniscience . Beautiful art and a great flavor text to go with it.

JUST A NOTE: I've extended the competition draw date a week later to the 8th of September, just to let a few more people vote and apply.

I'm a huge fan of Gisela, Blade of Goldnight She looks so awesome with the light all blasting out behind her. She's my favorite angel from the set, doubling damage on my side and halving damage on the other side is just a plus to how goddamn amazing her art is. I've decided Gisela is the card I'm going to collect.
Despite my love for Gisela, Ignite Memories has a really cool art too, my favorite storm card. (I don't play storm)

Nicol Bolas has some of the most awesome art, I'd say. He's all like "look at me, not only am I a villain, I'm a LEARNED villain. I know more than anyone who is alive or has ever lived. TRY and stop me." Screw the tiny-arms Nicol Bolas vs. Ajani art though.
Restoration Angel comes in at second for me. Its the wings man.

Blood Artist was really good, but none other than Moonveil Dragon . Masks its dirtiness with beauty!

Progenitus because I get a sense of awe when I look at it and read the flavor text.

Progenitus should definitely be up there as Progenitus [CON]... that's the art that's awesome!

i love Sublime Archangel because she looks so elegant with so much destruction around her. the art looks as if its been hand painted with water colours and just looks so perfect. IT IS ABSOLUTE BEAUTY

I think Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded is the best art, he looks so demonic and the detail is amazing

Too bad you can't show different editions. Can you put in a Guru Plains ?

Woops, no basic lands. Hmm... How's abouy Humility ? I've always liked Phoglio art, and this one is just hilarious! The skeleton always gets me.

No contest. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite has the best art. Not only is it technically amazing, it's packed with subtle meaning. Scott Fischer is probably the best MtG artist, but I haven't seen many pieces that convey hidden meaning as well as Elesh. Shout outs to rk post's Lightning Angel and Kekai Kotaki's Liliana Vess.

Despite that Zoltan Boros is my favourite MTG artist, my choice has to be, Lightning Helix with it's alternate art featuring Ajani Goldmane from the duel deck.
This was a great addition to one of the coolest spells in the game. If you have seen the intro cut scene of Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, the animated version of this art is amazing. Fiery justice from the mages of the Boros guild, to a Nacatl planeswalker out for revenge! (It will probably show the art I mentioned when tagged as it was it's most recent printing)
Honourable mentions to Stasis simply because there will never again be art like that, that isn't used on a promo card. The card is literally a piece of post-modern pop art.

Thundermaw Hellkite Is absolutely my favorite art so far. Anything by Svetlin Velinov is Beautiful. For reference Look at Talrand, Sky Summoner , Torpor Orb and Treacherous Pit-Dweller . Most of his artwork tells a story. Whether it be Thundermaw Hellkite patrolling the skies, or Talrand, Sky Summoner Standing tall in front of his drake army.

The artwork is just...perfect. Its just a vampire, but the atmosphere just fits. Its just straight up awesome/beautiful/amazing art.

Angelic Destiny , this card's art describes perfectly the power of faith, as you see a girl "blessed" by the mozaic- like art in the background, just look at it <3

Glimpse the Unthinkable and Mind Funeral , glimpse is just so amazingly drawn out and the creepiness from mind funeral gives me the chills, but I love it. THE FLAVOR OH THE FLAVOR!
