Not only are they comically hideous, the frame is like completely overwhelming the art.

I guess "invocations" means "random poo poo that seems like it would fit in Egypt"

Mother of god I'm glad they're willing to experiment but this is a failed experiment.

I'm just blown away by how bad every single element looks. The art is tiny, the all capitals is garbage, the outside-the-text-box font is unreadable, the ornamentation is a total distraction.

The stripey frame and heiroglyphic font are unforgivable.

Also, Wrath of God, Counterbalance, and Counterspell. All just ugly as sin. E: f,b.

There's also Counterspell and Wrath of God. The hilarious part is the fact that they put in random loving hieroglyphics around the text to make it harder to read.

The mana symbols look neat and the text box appeals to me because I played a lot of MUDs twenty years ago so I'm a big fan of Courier.

If they're going to allow this ugly poo poo to be tournament legal then I should be able to use proxies that I drew up with a blank card and a sharpie. Jesus christ. There's no way they're righting the ship with this block. I hope everyone is looking forward to regular bannings for the next year and a half.

Those are so over-the-top that they actually wrap back around to being sweet. The font on the card name and type is going to cause a lot of problems though.xanthan posted:Also random thought, what would goblin tribal look like on modern? I was running something like this for a couple years- 2 Contested War Zone 17 Mountain 1 Dragon Fodder 4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Goblin Bushwhacker 4 Goblin Chieftain 4 Goblin Grenade 4 Goblin Guide 2 Goblin Piledriver 2 Goblin Rabblemaster 1 Hellrider 1 Krenko's Command 4 Legion Loyalist 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Mogg War Marshal 2 Reckless Bushwhacker The 1- and 2-ofs could use some optimization (I stopped playing it before I got a good handle on Reckless Bushwhacker) but it was fun and is pretty cheap if you already have Guides. Just pray you don't run into Chalice or any type of sweeper. TwistedNails posted:8 whack is pretty much goblin tribal. Also this.

This is not a good sign that anyone in the process is competent. Nobody looked at these and said "This sucks guys, seriously."? Nobody? Who is this far out of touch? I guess this is the same group of people that thought the new gp promo would be an apt reward.The Shortest Path posted:I absolutely refuse to believe multiple employees of Wizards of the Coast looked at these and said "This is a good idea" Something in the process is broken.

Playing miracles with that ugly counterbalance and taking a long time to top seems like a great way to tilt legacy players. Don't even need the ugly counterbalance to do that though

You can't even read the card titles and card types and the mana symbols don't have any color. Who's the loving art director for this set?

hahahah not even lightning bolt. What the gently caress. More observations - every change to the card frame has been "we made the frame smaller so we can more prominently feature the incredible art we're able to commission." Until today.

Can't wait for the article that says "Players overwhelmingly were in favor of the Invocation style, though there were a few who didn't like it."

Frozen_flame posted:poo poo now I'm gonna look like a bad troll saying I like the designs. Other than the art being pretty small I legit like them, especially as something I'll probably only see once or twice in actual play. Can't wait to finally pick up Cryptics on the cheap when everyone is throwing these away for aesthetic reasons.
