Best set for artwork

[Tomokazu Komiya]

I personally think the best artworked set is EX Deoxys. There is a huge variety of work, from relative one-timers like Kanako Fo (Shroomish) and Aimi Tomita (Poochyena) to returning masters like Ken Sugimori and Hikaru Koike. Plus, this is the last set Sugimori has worked on! When will he return....? Also, another great thing about this set is the common cards have the best artwork, so you're likely to get some great art in your booster pack. This set would be perfect, except for Tomokazu Komiya keeping the tradition alive and cranking out crap like pelliper and Camerupt. (shivers) So, without further ado, here are my top cards of EX Deoxys: (in no order)
Shroomish
Lotad (Sugimori)
Sharpedo EX
Ludicolo (Nishida [Yes, I have gotten over my hatred of Nishida's art.])
Nuzleaf
Donphan
Deoxys (Normal)
Golbat
Magikarp
Skarmory (I believe this is Saitou's best work)
Duskull
Koffing
Makuhita
Slakoth
Slugma (Kusube [Amazing... creepy, yes, but amzing])
Swellow
Starmie
Rayquaza

So, whaddya think? Is there not a better set to get grade-A artwork? If so, please post it, and gikve some examples.

I think that the DS holos have the best artwork. The whole set for that matter. Gardevoir, Persian, Flareon EX, etc.

 

[Zapdos ex]

Yeah, but in DS, almost all (if not all) the background has the same thing, a lightning tower that looks like a pie.

 

[GODZILLA]

Delta Species has the smoothest and neatest artwork.

I like FR/LG emerald unseen forces delta speciesa and legend maker. They all have awesome artwork so it is hard to tell what the best one is for me.
