Today my favorite is this classic Hymn to Tourach art. It belongs on a graphic tee I would wear in the 2000s (or today tbh).
The Magic the Gathering card Hymn to Tourach. BB for a sorcery, target player discards two cards at random. "The eerie, wailing Hymn caused insanity even in hardened warriors. --Sarpadian Empires, vol. II" The art depicts people, small and standing on a rocky cliff face that looks like melted skulls. They are praying or praising, arms up to the night sky. Perhaps it is magic that flows from them into the fog and clouds between their cliff and distant mountains, but from them and the fog comes a massive side profile spectral howling wolf head. Ears back, teeth out. The wolf is the focus of the art, and what always draws me back to it.

I'm not sure exactly, but these are the four I remember. I bought the Nekusar pre-con before I knew it was a boogieman of the time. Ephara was based on a Prof video but built out of what I owned. Been wanting to rebuild versions of all of these. I'll always be nostalgic for tabletop power-level edh.
The Magic the Gathering card Nekusar the Mindrazer. The art depicts Nekusar, a lich king standing in his throne room. The MTG card Yasova Dragonclaw. The art depicts Yasova. She is the leader of the Temur clan and is standing in furs and armor in front of a massive sabertooth cat. The cat is lying down and Yasova has her hand on its head, ready to give scritches. The MTG card Mina and Denn, Wildborn. The art depicts Mina and her twin brother Denn. They are wild elves, athletic and wearing clothing that won't impede their movement as they leap through the woods. The MTG card Ephara, God of the Polis. The art depicts the goddess towering above a city. She holds a scroll in one hand and a jar in the other. The jar is pouring a dark liquid that sparkles with stars like you're looking into space onto a building.

These are the first 4 that came to mind. Ask another time and I'd think of others. Love this era of magic.
The Magic the Gathering card "Jori En, Ruin Diver." The art depicts a merfolk with red skin under water. She has white armor made of seashells. There is a glowing light in front of her that she is focused on, and rock formations behind her. The mood is dark but she is inquisitive. The Magic the Gathering card "Ephara, God of the Polis." The art depicts a towering feminine form with stone skin wearing a blue dress with silver filigree patterns along the trim lines. The buildings below her don't even reach her waist. She hold a scroll in one hand, and in her other she holds a massive jar next to her head. Out of the jar pours the power of the cosmos, a dark liquid with the sparkles of a thousand stars. The same stars shine out from the shadows of Ephara, illustrating her celestial divinity. She is impressive, yet here to help you build a better life. The Magic the Gathering card "Archfiend of Depravity." The art depicts a demon, whose shadowy figure dominates the frame. Massive red flesh wings are the most distinctive feature of the demon. The wings have tatters or perhaps flesh stretched too far in some places. The body of the demon appears roughly humanoid, except with pale skin and four arms. What appears to be a pile of bodies is at the feet of the demon. We are in a structure of some sort, but the trees of a swamp are visible in the background and their roots have crept into the foreground. The demon seems to be reveling in its power, and the shadow of its power fills the card making details difficult for me to see. The Magic the Gathering card "Spire Phantasm." The art depicts a gargoyle illusion turning to fly towards us, with a large building behind it. The building behind has gargoyle heads (made of presumably stone, but clearly not illusions). The central figure is made of blue energy, which wisps off of it as it flies. On its forehead is a symbol that looks like a circle with small vertical line going upward and inward, and a longer line going upward from inside the circle to outside where it ends in a Spades shape. The gargoyle is snarling, excited to attack us.

I love EoE and told them so. But every survey is another chance to plead for the best way to play mtg:
