Is it just me? Or are Planar Chaos cards with the {Damnation} style border just gorgeous?!? I love 'em, they're my favorite modern border.
Yep
{Damnation} is one of the coolest looking cards ever. I love the way the boarders meld together. The artwork is perfect. It almost looks like a card from another game.
I own a {Essence Warden} from Planar Chaos. It looks awesome. What determined if they would look like that? It seems like a lot of commons and uncommons.

Mark Rosewater did a podcast on Planar Chaos. It stretched the color pie in all directions. Some things were basically other cards in new colors. I think the frames were to show how cool Timeshifted Cards are.
{Essence Warden} = {Soul Warden}
{Damnation} = {Wrath of God}
{Prodigal Pyromancer} = {Prodigal Sorcerer}

though {parodical pyromancer} didn't have that much of an impact in red, since red was already doing that

They were pushing it pretty hard for awhile there. It never really fit blue anyway. New players enjoy {Prodigal Pyromancer}. I think at some point - everyone shoved some Pyromancers into a deck to try it out.

Seriously dude, I love that look! And I actually remember a friend explaining that to me now, the fancy cards like that were functional reprints of older cards in an opposite color.
