Seeing The Future

Now while we haven't been playing Magic since the Ravnica expansion (then we've got tired of downloading updates...now we shudder to think how long we've to wait just to update Magic Online, prolly best wait till ver 3 is fully functional), but we still enjoy perusing magicthegathering.com for bits and pieces, namely Mark Rosewater's articles and the Arcana.

The fun we find with the current block asides from the gameplay (which we have not experience nor shall, because we can't bear to pour money that way) is from the many card frames that Wizards have designed. While the Planar Chaos timeshifts retain the same look as current 8th Edition frames, the Future Sight ones are just plain funky.

Rather modern look, but not as if it's from Space: The Convergence, in fact, much better-looking than Space.

Compare. (The actual cards don't have the MtG on it...we just 'shopped it in to show it's from them.)

We're hoping that the frames for each colour will differ drastically (think Decipher's LotR frames for each culture) but that's gonna be wistful thinking.
