In addition to the frame change, there is going to be a shift in set sizes. Sets are going to be going from 249 to 269, adding 20 commons. It is supposedly to make for a better limited environment.

I like this because now they wont have to water down rares and mythics so much.

Black cards in new frame are ok.

Other colors not so much....

Not happy with that look at all.

I'm sure ill get used to it, but at first glance I don't think I really like the new frame. It feels like it's missing something, like the bottom is incomplete.

I see what you mean, without that stamp it looks empty

Stamp is for rare/mythic cards. Not color related.

No no I know I'm just saying that it looks empty without the premium stamp. I feel like there should be something there

I like the new print style. I'm fairly close-minded when it comes to card art (my deck features no cards that aren't in modern print, though I'm sure it'd benefit from them), so I'm glad they designed a print style I can agree with.

I don't like that only rares and mythics get the sticker, it gives wotc the "hey commons we don't give a .poo. About those"
