Way much better than what I've been doing: clicking on each card from the spoiler! Thanks!

On behalf of all the T2 players that were nausiated by the poor quality of cards in the Kamigawa block (except for a few playable ones), thank you for this set and for the upcoming Ravnica block.
Funny, one would think you have already seen Ravnica Block's spoilers...
man, Nth is gonna be sweet. It's probably my favorite set of this entire year. I know that I will like it better than the Kamigawa block and its crappy japanese flavor.

Cards in 9th edition use the 8th edition card frame and a expansion symbol almost exactly like 8th. Basically, they'll look almost exactly like 8th, only with the fixed artifact frame from Fifth Dawn.
I know this probably isn't the best place, but the presence of pictures makes this the most apt place for me to post this. If someone knows where this should go, please tell.
Anyways...
What are the cards going to look like in 9th. Are they going to be like 8th edition, borders white (white eugh) and that design** (as opposed to the older card layouts), or is it going to be different. Also, I know some creature types have been removed, so is anything else going to change. slight changes to card text (other that the already changed errata) that would change their usefullness, etc.
**PS layouts and things is very badly explained. Box clearly around the title/mana and box around the types/rarities, and then borders to the text box and image. Opposed to the older box around the text box. etc. (MAN that's badly explained!)
Do we know? Thanks, sorry this isn't a rumor and doesn't really fit here. I couldn't think where it goes.
EDIT: look at aven cloudchaser and aven flock in the spoiler. That's what I mean about the card layout etc. Got there in the end
Why would they go back to the old card frame after all the effort they've made to get people used to the new one?
it will have the same P/T, oracle text, casting cost, etc. They are reprinting the exact cards, with updated text, and in some cases, updated art and types.
For example, Samite Healer will probably change from "cleric" to "human cleric".
Rarities will probably change for some cards. Dunno if there are any confirmed rarities or not.
I think i covered all of your question, heh..not sure though..
Say we know Hypnotic specter is back. Can we therefore guarentee that it costs the same, has the same power, tougness, text (as oracle) and everything else. I believe there is something about not printing functional reprints, but I'd like to know how closely the 9th cards will match the ones in the spoilers. ie Rarities will be changing. Subtypes will change.
Will anything which affects the way a card works in any given situation change?
A "Functional Reprint" is a new card that has a different name than a card but with the exact same Color, Casting Cost, Effects, and Abilities...
Like for instance, if WotC made a card called:
MIT West Tier
CC: 2U
Sorcery
Each player shuffles his or her hand and graveyard into his or her library and then draws seven cards. (Then put MIT West Tier into its owner’s graveyard.
That (above) would be a "Functional Reprint" of Timetwister, which is prohibited by the Reserve List... Reprinting a card with the same name is a "Litteral Reprint", and everything about the card previously, will still be true about it today (except for the Artwork). Only cards on the Reserved List, and exact functional reprints of them, are banned from printing.
I am just glad they added the 10 pain lands all in 1 set. I am very glad they did that

The majority of top decks in standard are mono color... Which means Ravnica is gonna be another multicolor kicker/alternate cost gold colored abomination... And that means I'll be buying less packs. lol
wow i just saw this... the only thing that would make this better is showing all of the cards in blackborder
Not really, considering many cards will have new arts.
A second visual spoiler will probably be made once all the new card arts pop up for autocard...if they do...

Funny how the only actually broken card on that 'blue' list is a land.

That's as maybe, but the others are still bloody annoying.
That said, I'm glad Plow is gone. It really was one of the most obnoxious cards ever. When a card that basically stalls 2 turns sees that much type 2 play... it's just annoying. Admittably, Chittering Rats was somewhat annoying, but nowhere near as bad (in fact, precisely half as bad). (I have no problem with things like death cloud, wrath, bridge stalling - they are either symmetrical or demand an answer. Plow into Plow into Witness into Plow is just mind-numbing).

I've been waiting for this all weekend. I'll add it to my growing list of Topdeck's patented visual spoilers.
After finally "seeing" it all it's not so bad.
Through passion, I gain strength.

Anyways, thanks, topdeck! That's really neat.

I'm not really impressed by 9th edition though.
That said, 9th looks pretty meh. White looks to be the only color that made significant games. Also, BoW=teh evil.
now begins the thousand years of REIGN OF BLOOD!
