Hey I'm the same way, I've passed over a lot of cards because of the art. Makes it tough to play Legacy sometimes.Ol' MusicMan is playing some of my favorite artists - Drew Tucker, Rebecca Guay.I looked to see if there's any music-themed cards by some other artists I like - Quinton Hoover, Richard Kane Ferguson, Harold McNeil, Margaret Organ-Kean. Just Goblin War Drums, Hymn to Tourach, and maybe Tragic Poet counts too.

Very nice! Here's some manabase ideas, it's everything that makes blue/green:https://managathering.com/duallands/Simic.htmlAlso, here's some other land ideas that maybe fit the theme: - Ancient Ziggurat - Arena - Gateway Plaza - Grand Coliseum - Thespian's StageIt's cool to see all the different themed cards in one place but I think you should pick a couple that have some synergy together and build around those. Like check out this deck built around Song of Creation:https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2921104...that even plays Wild Cantor without trying to be music-themed, they're just trying to combo off Song of Creation. Here's another version:https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2930404
I would say to look at some of these search results:1) Anything with ice, icy, snow, frost, freeze, winter, or chill in the name:https://www.cardkingdom.com/catalog/view?filter%5Bipp%5D=60&filter%5Bsort%5D=most_popular&filter%5Bsearch%5D=mtg_advanced&filter%5Bname%5D=ice+or+icy+or+snow+or+frost+or+winter+or+frost+or+freeze+or+chill&filter%5Bcategory_id%5D=0&filter%5Bmulti%5D%5B0%5D=1&filter%5Btype_mode%5D=any&filter%5Bmanaprod_select%5D=any2) Anything that has the "snow" subtype:https://www.cardkingdom.com/catalog/view?filter%5Bsort%5D=most_popular&filter%5Bsearch%5D=mtg_advanced&filter%5Btab%5D=&filter%5Bname%5D=&filter%5Bcategory_id%5D=0&filter%5Bmulti%5D%5B0%5D=1&filter%5Btype_mode%5D=any&filter%5Btype_key%5D=&filter%5Btype_key%5D=snow&filter%5Bpow1%5D=&filter%5Bpow2%5D=&filter%5Btuf1%5D=&filter%5Btuf2%5D=&filter%5Bconcast1%5D=&filter%5Bconcast2%5D=&filter%5Bprice_op%5D=&filter%5Bprice%5D=&filter%5Bkey_text1%5D=&filter%5Bmanaprod_select%5D=any3) Here's another good resource for looking at what people used for "snow" theme decks:https://edhrec.com/themes/snow...Once you've given everything a thorough look, get it down to 60 cards total. You can worry about the manabase last.
Thanks! I'm trying to stick to the "trees" theme as close as I can so I may not shift to mill. I wish I could play Noble Hierarch (the Pro Tour Promo version has a big 'ol tree in it) but I'm also trying to stay on budget.
