However, as of 2017 Wizards of the Coast had no plans to change the card back. It would have an ongoing impact on formats with older cards, but the mere fact people are playing with older cards greatly increases the chances that they play with sleeves already. The change would have zero impact on limited formats and would only affect Standard for a year. Regarding concerns about the effect on players of changing the card back, Mark Rosewater noted that "ata shows that very few players play constructed without using card sleeves". That is also the reason that the back stayed unchanged during the 8th Edition revision of the card frame.Īccording to Mark Rosewater, the topic of changing the card back "comes up every couple years but so far the status quo has always won." The internal reasons to change the card back include updating the logo and trademark, removing the obsolete reference to "Deckmaster", and design updates to match the modern card face design. Until the release of double-faced cards, no legal card could have a different print on the back than the regular Magic card back.
It was designed and colored by the original art director for the game, Jesper Myrfors, together with Christopher Rush. The card back features the original blue version of the Magic: The Gathering logo, a representation of the color wheel and the word " Deckmaster" at the bottom, all on a brown background with an oval shape meant to represent the cover of your book of magic spells.
The back of every card is identical, with the exception of commemorative sets.
