Did anyone else check out Wizard's article on Seedborn Muse earlier? After all the discussion we'd already have, I find it amusing that there are still far scarier rares in Legions. (Kinda like Khamal, Fist of Krosa vs Supreme Inquisitor)

This is not a rumor but an actual WotC announcement: they're changing the layout of Magic cards, starting with 8th edition. I can't say I'm pleased, but that might just be a knee-jerk reaction to something new and different. The new design isn't necessarily bad, but...it's not Magic. See for yourself: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=sideboard/ptchi03/unveiling

i don't see why the change & didn't feel like reading through the article to find out. I'll live though.

the new design would be great for a science fiction game, but it just isn't quite fantasy

No thanks. The new design is actually helpful, and they won't change their minds anyway. We're all feeling our knee-jerk reaction, but we'll get over it and probably think the old design is ugly after a while. I do like the way they finally gave artifacts their own color too.

I agree that artifacts deserve their own color, but I think they should have made a bigger difference between it and white. The colors are obscure enough already, and maybe it's just the computer image but I can't easily tell them apart. I guess it will be easier in person, but still.

I have to agree with you there, Fell.  It is difficult to tell them apart.

Just to reiterate Prometheus' post, that petition doesn't stand a whelk's chance in a supernova. The new look is here to stay, whether we like it or not.

What is a whelk, and...does anything stand a chance in a supernova? A neutron star maybe.

A whelk is something that doesn't stand a chance in a supernova.
