...He doesn't look insane so much as smoke is coming out of his head.

The image. He also has weirdly distorted legs and arms and his face looks almost stereotypically mad.

The smoke is supposed to be the "power" bit; it's not so much smoke and more of an aura of Magyk.

I am inclined to say Keep or Keep Until Better Image Suggested here

Keep Until Better Image Suggested...we could do better, though.

I think it works. Maybe not the best, but it certainly works.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

As an MtG player, I can definitively say that Zur is an example of the trope, and I think the image conveys the trope pretty well. I'd say this a bit better than being merely in "Keep Until Better Image Suggested" territory, though there may be better out there.

Definitely keep unless we get a better image. It's pretty clear to me that the guy's insane, and that blue stuff reads pretty easily to me as some sort of etheric substance, or lightning.

The only reason I could think to pull it is if we got a picture showing the madness, the power, and the fact that the power is causing the madness.

...Maybe something from Soul Eater, but that's more of the inverted trope.

I have a message from another time...

It is also the only image in this thread so far.
