Q: "Have there been other single artworks that have been split up and put on a number of different cards like Akroma and Phage, Tony Robert’s promotional lands etc., and what cards are they on? Do you commission the art intending to crop the image in different spots, or is the decision made after seeing the art?"

A: From Jeremy Cranford, Magic Art Director:
"Hello Adam,
"I’m glad you notice these cards. They are planned and commissioned that way. There are lots of them around if you look. I think the first mural used for several cards were the "Ice Age" Plains land cards by Chris Rush. All of the basic lands were painted as one mural and then cropped into 4 cards. The forest painting by Rob Alexander was at least 4 feet long!
"There is the set of Nim zombie cards by Adam Rex, the Great Machine by Greg Staples and Steve Tappin, and the Brothers Yamazaki by Ron Spears.
"And that’s just a start, I’m sure there are more. I’m always looking for places to slip this sort of thing in when I can!"

《怒りの天使アクローマ/Akroma, Angel of Wrath》と《触れられざる者フェイジ/Phage the Untouchable》のように、１枚のイラストを、分割して複数のカードにしたものはあるか？という質問です。
その回答で、例の1つとして、《山崎兄弟/Brothers Yamazaki》が挙げられていました。このようなイラストは、あらかじめそのような依頼をして、描かせているようです。機会をみて、こうしたカードはつくっていく、とのことでした。仮に神河に再訪することがあったとして、同じような分割イラストのカードが登場するか、楽しみです。
