Which are the guidelines about card images? On the wiki should be put the image of the first print, or the more recent one? --Firebead elvenhair (talk) 13:31, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

There's no such guideline. Card links will default to the newest version unless you explicitly specify a particular printing (e.g. to point to specific flavor text). Articles preferentially have some image, but it doesn't need to be card art of any kind. Use the image that best serves to demonstrate or explain the subject. This article already has one printing, so it's probably fine as-is.
Also, keep in mind copyright: Many images here are owned by Wizards. We can make a fair use argument to defend usage of low-resolution uploads, but maybe not a wallpaper-sized version from the artist's DeviantArt, for example. --Corveroth (talk) 15:26, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
