At first, I didn´t appreciate the Illustration Rares very much. I guess this had to do with growing up with simpler cards. My brain had to adjust.
However, they have grown on me. I thought it would be interesting to see what Illustration Rares (you think) are real pieces of art, while not being popular (yet).
I just discovered the Clauncher (SV Base) and am a bit hypnotized by it. Just very beautiful.

My favorite “under the radar” one. Done by the great Takumi Wada, who also is well known for his art with the Zelda games.

Although, I’d argue that anything Komiya does isn’t under the radar.

Fair but this card seems criminally undervalued

I like this a lot as well, I just think it’s a shame how much the wall of text distracts from the complex artwork.

I think this Ninetales is stunning.
This Ledian reminds me of catching fireflies/lightning bugs as a kid.
I love this Meditite, trying to find peace and quiet.

I do not like this card format at all but there are some very good illustrations. This one is incredible.

Castform isn’t really under the radar but sorry I’m obsessed. The others are really good

It’s them sitting there playing chess, with one just watching—that does it for me.
