I started in 95 in high school and I am now 41, and I have to say the new time shifted cards look gorgeous.

Printing technology seems to have moved on enough that the thin white text on the card names is now readable. The '93 era cards as already giving us eye strain in '95.

Also I really like the new snow frame. And the enchantment frame.

If im being honest the only old frames i hate are the white and gold ones. White is unreadable and gold just looks ugly. the rest i dont really care about. I dont think the others are especially better mind you just am nuetral on them.

Except artifacts, i'll grant the old frame looks definitely better in that one case

GOD the white on white text sucks so bad.

The art on silence is really cool, but I wish they kept the original flavor text.

All the wizardry in the world has to pass through one small and easily sealed door.

i really like the old card frame and it sucks because i wanted a box of this set from the moment they announced it and now i want two boxes. but i am firmly sticking to my "do not give WOTC money" principle. i hated SL:TWD and the announcement of Universes Beyond makes me feel bad generally, so i think i will continue not giving them any money.

I don't understand why they didn't just make the text on the white cards black

what the hell were they thinking?

Originally? They weren't. Early Magic /WotC was flying by the seat of it's pants.

Should they have done it now? Probably, but there'd probably be lots of complaints about it being inauthentic.

The thing that I really like about the old frames is the texture effects - they feel like little pieces of swamp or wood or gems or whatever. The new frames lost the textured feeling and most of the premium attempts to bring it back - signature spellbooks, etched foils, whatever - haven't really worked. Maybe the Kaladesh masterpieces, the filigree was pretty cool.

The Magic Arena Reddit is the worst cesspool due to combining two of the worst gamer types;

- Magic players who will complain about anything
- Free to play players who will piss and moan about not being given everything in a game they refuse to put any money into

Game-specific subreddits are basically always terrible. At least it's not DTG where it's also the primary community hub.

Old frames are all good except the gold frames, which were loving garbage.

She's absolutely right, though. The magic esports twitter is an unending wall of own-goals, from memeing about how they broke their own formats with Eldraine bullshit to pissily sniping at tron players. Wendys twitter at least only takes potshots at other brands and haters, not their own enthusiastic customers.
