Something else a little wacky for people today. As mentioned on Magiclibrarities and confirmed by WotC in a few places, before 8E they mocked up and playtested with another alternate frame design that never went to final production, and which featured some ideas (like vertical card costs on one side) that were later used in other designs like the Future Sight frame. Thanks to various sources (including Worth Wollpert, who posted a photo of an extensive collection of these) we have a pretty good idea of which cards appear in each batch.

There were three total printruns of cards using variants of this face. What I've got here are images from what I'll call 2J8 - the second run, which featured a Judgment expansion symbol. This isn't close to everything (I have 34 cards here, while the full set is 57 with two variations each) but I thought it'd be fun to have a sampling of this unusual set for people to take a look at.
