I would give the instant frame the same frame as sorceries, but with an added embellishment, like flashes of lightning, or whatever is associated with speed.

Technically, artifacts and lands already have their own frame :)

If the differences are too stark, everybody with even just a hint of OCD would read out. I do think the embellishment on legendary cards looks good, so something in that vein might work. The Future Sight frames were unsightly in my opinion, but what they did get right was putting a visual clue...

No, why should it? That's just your personal preference. Which is fine, don't get me wrong, but it's not a universal truth. Obviously, since I don't share your preference ;) Ultimately I'ld say the new border has, objectively, a couple of improvements over the old border (readability...

The new design has a better font, more room for the art, better readability, and a cleaner and crisper layout. The only thing I like about the old border is the unique border for each color (that basically matched the corresponding basic land in theme) was more visible. It's still there in the...

I know this comes down to personal preference, but I do prefer the M15 frame. I honestly think it looks better than the modern frame, and a lot better than the original frame.

I want a 3BB wrath with surveil 2.

That's what Drake Haven is for in my cube ;)

Yeah, I really like it. It might actually be better than Talrand, Sky Summoner because it's much more likely to live, and actually decent at stalling a board. Plus, that artwork. Crazy gorgeous!

That one I already run, and I love it to death. Great card!

I believe Chris actually runs a custom Addle with cost {b}.

Castigate There are other options if you go two color.

So, I'm currently digging the two mana discard spells in black, specifically Collective Brutality and Transgress the Mind. I haven't been as pleased with Strongarm Tactics, and I'm looking for a replacement. I'm looking for a sorcery here, so I have identified three likely candidates. Which one...

Bugler is the bee's knees. Awesome, awesome card!

Black mostly has raw card advantage, not a lot of smoothing options, though there are a few. Nothing at a low mana cost though, like blue, red, and even green have been getting. Dimir Machinations Read the Bones Bitter Revelation Dark Bargain Liliana's Spoils White has... Visions And in...

Poor Minotaur, that looks like a very bad trip!

Ok, you may have convinced me to make the swap. I have been powering down blue's card advantage suite significantly recently, and have been enjoying Frantic Search a lot more than I ever did Compulsive Research (even though Compulsive is a great draw option).

I was briefly intrigued when I saw this card, until I remembered that I currently run this: chart a course Yeah... Radical Idea does not compare favorably under most circumstances.

Oh boy, this gets me excited! A limited trick or a flexible removal spell? I almost feel sorry for myself since my cube doesn't support Golgari. What a great card! Hope the rest lives up to this!

I almost expect bloodthirst to be the rakdos mechanic this time around though. Probably not because of historic reasons, but it does fit well, even flavorwise. Orzhov will surely get a new mechanic, neither of the previous two was a smash hit.
