The Magic brand team was considering a change to the card face as early as 2000. Though some changes were made over the years, such as color-coding the expansion symbol to reflect the card's rarity or the introduction of a collector's number (both changes introduced with Exodus), the frame stayed unchanged for a long time. Other features such as name, cost type, rarity, and power/toughness for creatures were printed directly onto the frame, which at times, especially in earlier editions, made it hard to read. The top half was dominated by the artwork of the card while the lower half was dominated by the text box.
Since its inception, the game had a card frame separated into two halves. All of this means that frames are an important tool allowing the designers to make cards and mechanics that they couldn't have ever made in the past. Third, they can be splashy, making the cards more appealing for the players. Second, they can convey a lot of flavor to the card, helping sell the theme of the set. They can allow you to do things that might not normally fit on a card by using design elements to convey something that would take a lot of words to communicate, or they could serve as a means to track information that might be a memory issue on a normal card.

I enjoyed things much more before they introduced the crappy 'neo walkers' and screwed up the nature of the game's back story. I compiled alot of resources, most of them from to create this map, so most of the actual credit for research of place locations should go to the people there.Īs an aside: I'm not a fan of the direction they've taken Magic in the last five years, both rules wise and creatively with their story lines. so I decided to make one when I ran an d20 RPG based in that setting so my players could see the world. One of the things that has always perplexed me is that Wizards of the Coast, the publisher of the game, refuses to release an official map of the world of Dominaria.
I used to be (and I guess I still am) a huge fan of the trading card game, Magic the Gathering. I was close on some places, way off on others! Edit: Wizards actually released a map of Dominaria, so this one is sort of moot now.
