Much like Patrick Rothfuss liking these is a sure indication that you're an idiot and I can safely ignore everything else you say.

Ha, those are neat. Not my jam, but I think it's cool that they went really "out there" with the designs. Better than if they'd been totally bland/safe. Also re: Readability, who cares? They've done full art promos for cards with rules text

To the second, Wizards has stopped with full art promos and in my mind that is the correct decision because not everyone knows everything about every card, even very experienced players. For example, is Cryptic's fourth mode "Tap all creatures target player controls", "Tap all creatures target opponent controls", or "Tap all creatures your opponent's control"? Let's read the card to find out

Seriously though these are tremendously ugly. If I had to say anything nice it'd be that it's cool they put the card name and artist in cartouches. Probably the only good artistic touch going on there.

Let's read the card to find out Fair enough, I get what you're saying. But even for these, the hard parts to read are the titles more than the rules text. It seems like the big problem with these being hard to read is limited, and those situations will be pretty rare. Agree that they could have been a big easier to read, though. Maybe it's not as bad in-person, but I suspect the foil process will make things harder, not easier.

^^^ Cryptic taps all creatures your opponents control. Well on the plus side I don't have to worry about getting any of the new expeditions for my cube. It's a shame, too. Some of the art, Counterspell in particular, looks pretty good. mandatory lesbian posted:CHAIR LIGHTRIRG NO  CHAIR LIGHTRIRG1TAttorney at Funk posted:Who would possibly use these?

En Fuego posted:Mind Twist brings up really poo poo memories of Dark Ritual. On one hand, Ritual, Mind Twist is just a 2 card Hymn and think it would probably be fine. On the other hand, I can see something stupid like double Ritual, Twist or turn 1 Tomb, Monolith, turn 2 Twist your whole hand away thanks for trying to play Magic idiot and I don't want it anywhere near legacy. Legacy is already becoming BGx good cards the format. It doesn't need more help.

I like that new mind twist art more than I've liked the art for a new card in a long time (based on that small image) and they stuck in these god awful frames. The name of the card even looks like it has a little cock and balls pointing back at it at the end there.
