The Modern Magic Frame

Magic: the Gathering was first released in 1993. It was immensely popular at release, and remains even more popular today, with over 35 million players across physical and digital platforms. The game has had a massive influence on generation of players, many of whom are becoming the next great game designers of today and tomorrow. Trends in Magic’s design are picked up and carried through hundreds of other contemporary games. It’s only natural that, as graphic designers, we should look at Magic’s graphic design trends too.
