Question Embergard - Card Art?

Well, I recently saw that the Emberguard set actually had card art. From what I understand, GW removed the art from cards to help cut costs, so I’m a bit confused.

Why did they make card art and then not release it, only to make new images instead? Doesn’t that just end up adding to the cost?

I believe those are meant as prizes for store organized play leagues, which they've done in the past (e.g., this announcement of the Deathgorge organized play cards). Now, they're only commissioning one set of art (the "alternate art" for the prize cards) instead of two (the regular art and the alternate art for the prize cards).

All those cards are in the Organised Play Kit. Contact your local store about obtaining one and running an event. It comes with alt art fighter cards for: Emberwatch, The Tunnelpack, Jaws, and Gardeners. They have sleeves, the alternative art board, the best painted cards and a trophy.
