Still can't wait for 2nd Set!

aw...no Fury Estos (just kidding)
Looks really good.

[Holykiller]

it's really good =DDD

everything is better, the drawings are better too ^^

[FuDaWg45]

Interesting design. They look really good, but if Magic ever officially changed to that I'd quit permanently. They remind me of the Star Wars card game.

[lionden_56]

yea, it does look like star wars a little. My first thought was A Game of Thrones, but Star Wars works too.

[Tekkactus]

Aside from the vertical costs and p/t, I like them way more than the current design Magic is using. (BLECH, Modern format, BLECH!)

Also, Magneskelion was drawn by Niklas Jansson, and Photoshopped by Streetz. Superstreetz had nothing to do with him.

[Streetz]

Very cool -- very cool indeed. If that was the background for normal Magic, I would totally use it. It does enhance the art a bit. :D

[Michael_Zeora]

on that note, I do have a little something stored in my photobucket...
Warning, big card render...

There we go... I remade the MTG frames, there nothing special, just thought this would be a proper post to get everyone to see it..

I love the look of the cards. You've changed them and yet made them easy for anybody to read. My favorite pictures are.

Bluetail Zvelt
Rapid Aggression
Magneskelion
Sisken, Vaspan Dome

I like pictures on cards that look real. For me it's easier to believe you are in the fight yourself. The others they are nice, but it looks like more like Pokemon or Yugioh would have those drawings. The abilitys on those creatures are awesome. My favorite is Zardiel, Empod Ally great tap affect with protection from assassins that would just make a lot of people mad.

MZ, the image is broken...even the URL leads nowhere...

eh, i don't REALLY like them, but i love the effort. They remind me of VS, plus i don't think there's enough detail on several of them....That's why i like the modern design, because there's a heavy texture, but you don't see much of it, so it doesn't overwhelm the card.

But i love the art, it's hard to do art for a set, i'm still in drafting stage for my set...

[Syphon]

I like that big thing, like the newest Un-lands.

[Artifactor]

Very cool -- very cool indeed. If that was the background for normal Magic, I would totally use it. It does enhance the art a bit. :D

Yes, this frame would make me want to get into the game a little more. To bad it isn't for real.

[Thelon_of_Havenwood]

these cards are actually really great--really well-balanced, and not to mention the great amounts of flavor used here! great job, zakkus. props.

[omegaprime9774]

Love the new cards....really wish that Magic looked like that...would make one heck of a better visual presentation then the current formatting.

[Syphon]

I am kind of impartial to either, since both the original as this design have their merits. OFFTOPIC: Lionden, can you link me to all cards of a game of thrones?

[kmbrn91]

magneskelion is a little overpowered in my opinion, especially with a deadly forgotten ancient but i am really impressed with the artwork.

[FrycHiKn]

Intresting cards but, i believe that Rapid Aggression is t3h broken! in late game :paranoid:

weenies gone wild...

[Spaghetti Monster]

on’t really like the pwr/tuff on the left instead of right. I like the sword under the pwr but the shield (?) is hard to tell it’s a shield. Casting Cost move is a push, not better not worse. Really like the frame/border. Like how you have each color slightly different (in more then just the color, the rock and leaf, etc.). I like that the color of the frame/border (on the left side) matches the text box. I really like the little design/swoosh the encompasses the set symbol and the card name. Nice touch, you could mix that up for other sets. The Magneskelion art is really nice the Zvelt is nice as well. I like the Rapid Aggression over all, but there is something wrong with the dudes face.

Overall very nice design, you can tell a lot of work and thought has been put into it.

[Kit$une]

The design is reaaaly goood :p specialy the red and artifact , but i think the green one looks little bit odd ...

[Chrome_Kaldra]

You do know that is FPM's template over on MTGsally...i see no one giving him credit...
