Idk if you already knew this but Brother's War Commander did give us a "canon" way of doing old border colored artifacts (see Mnemonic Sphere) but they're not actually brown so it probably doesn't quite what you're going for.
I actually did not know that. I had been looking for them for a while. But yeah, really want that brown. Thanks though! That's very cool.
Yeah, I did see that and have modified it a bit for legendary artifacts. I'm just not a huge fan of it.
It looks a little worse imo, but this is already in CC.
I can also post my frame if anyone wants to mess around with it. I'll do that when I'm home.
Having payed (and played) with those commander decks. Yes, they should have been brown (or at least partly brown). It is very hard to count the number of artifacts when they look like regular non artifact cards.
I had to stare at it for a while to make sure I was looking at an artifact.
That's pretty simply and effective. You could change the pinline, too.
Yeah, I actually quite like these! I missed this when I was trying to find examples of coloured artifacts.
Oooh, boy, I missed that. Thank pal, I will redo it for my next mpc order.
Do you mean the pin line for the rules box?
It's called pinline in CC. I strongly recommend messing with settings on all sorts of frames. It's fun and gives you a good feel for everything.
Yeah, I feel like that's true. I understand that straying from the original would be against what they want to do, but the cards need to be readable. It feels like there's been an increasing discussion about that recently.
I agree.
There was a time when Wizards used frames as a way to tell us something. For instance the Theros Nyx frames look like stars in the sky because they wanted to be sure we would notice that the creatures were also enchantments so we didn’t forget during the games that Naturalize shoots down Master of Waves.
Now they use frames to give us variance which is also nice I think.

it can't have worked that well or you would have named one of the actual enchantment creatures lol

Haha that’s a good point!
I used to be able to remember them all and distinguish between them easily. But lately it’s not as easy anymore with non-enchantment creatures having the enchantment frame.

My point was that it used to mean something. Now it also means something but has less value and is therefore more confusing.

If you are referring to the special frames for the Theros cards in MOM, they actually used the enchantment frame only on enchantments! Compare...@safra

Heliod has the enchantment frame (notice the borders on the side and the starry crown), but Kroxa and Kunoros (and also Polukranos Reborn) don't. It's the art that is super misleading, not the frame

This is also kinda a design knock against the enchantment creatures, as there's little singling them out other than flavor, which can go either way.@safra
