YggdrasilTM posted:I mean, I'm sure that when they printed Elesh Norn in loving phyrexian people complained that the card was unreadable, right? The difference is that the Judge Elesh Norn looks loving baller and these look like complete poo poo. Also people know what Elesh Norn does in constructed. Good luck parsing all the card elements to whoever gets introduced to Chain/Chair Lightning by opening one of these at prerelease. Also the P/T being stacked vertically is colossally stupid. Literally the only benefit to these existing is that they fulfill my wish of WotC printing tournament-playable cards for people who don't care about the way cards in their deck look.

mandatory lesbian posted:it seems to be a very love it or hate it thing, it's closer then i thought it would be I don't remember anything close to as much negativity on the first two. People had complaints about Expeditions, the main one being that they wished they were more transparent to show off the cool full-frame art, but generally people liked them, and I don't recall anyone having anything bad to say about the frame style of Inventions. Inventions look amazing. At most, some people disliked some of the specific artworks on some of them. Looking on Twitter I'm seeing about 75-25 people hating Invocations viciously and in-depth vs. generic "looks cool!" comments.

They looked a little gaudy in the previews but turned out pretty good when on actual foiled cards. These are fundamentally flawed and no foiling is going to make them not look bad.

This one actually looks pretty good. The art fits well with the frame and so the card forms one congruent whole. The symmetry in particular really helps. If they all looked like this it wouldn't be so bad. I'm not sure what the art has to do with producing extra mana though. If you renamed it to City of Brass it would be much better.

It's fine. It's like "Yo, Bolas shrine, gimme some mana. TIA." On par with the other rituals minus the spell caster.

Do you think they spent actual money to get some experts on hieroglyphics to concoct this nonsense, or did they just run the cardnames through wingdings and call it a day?

If they all looked like this it wouldn't be so bad. This is the best looking one. This still looks terrible. I'm pretty sure it's people marching to a sacrifice altar or something. It's hard to see with 4 pixels of the card being devoted to actual art.
