I don't think that's completely true; plenty of the new cards are quite imaginative. I think there's just a greater degree of imposed consistency in the design.

For some counterexamples to your point, look at any of the art by Seb McKinnon.

His stuff looks fantastic, and does look a lot like the more "tarot" inspired art of early magic. Thanks for telling us about him! Link for the curious. http://www.sebmckinnon.com/illustration/2019/5/29/2019/5/29/...

(I'm not very good at responding to HN comments, but hopefully you'll see this!)

A few of my favorite pieces by him are Deliver Unto Evil [1], Soulherder [2], and String of Disappearances [3]. His art is just so wonderfully fantastical and different from everything else. I love it.
