I'm pulling out of my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time from the drive to work.

Okay, so today I'm talking card frames. Okay, so, and not just card frames, but sort of talking

about the history of card frames and how they become a design component. So we will get there.

Okay, so, when the game first came out, back in Alpha,

Yesper Mirforce, who was the original art director, made card frames.

And the card frames weren't to match the colors.

You know, each of them had sort of a, like every white card had the same frame.

Every blue card had the same frame.

And so when the game started, there were five normal frames, one for each color, there was

an artifact frame, there was a land frame. And I think, I think that was it. I think when the

game began. In fact, when I talk about card it. I think when the game began.

In fact, when I talk about card codes, I remember like common white number one, the white actually refers to the card frame.

That's why it's in the card code.

Now, it happens to be the color and the frame overlap.

But actually, the reason we reference, and that's why land and artifacts have their own code because they have a different frame. Anyway, so let's walk

through the fun of card frames. So what happened was the card frames as we knew them lasted from

Alpha through 8th edition. And then in 8th edition, we made a new card frame was we knew them lasted from Alpha through 8th Edition.

And then in 8th edition, we made a new card frame, and we changed up how they looked.

You know, we changed the font in the writing.

And we just sort of changed sort of how the presentation of it.

The earlier frames used to have white writing on the dark background and the newer ones now have black writing on a lighter background, make it a little easier

to read. And then in Magic 2015, we did a tweak on it. We added the little bubble, the security
