I thought this might intrest you guys - judging by the only full spoiler from Rise of the Eldrazi, cards are going to be extened art (sort of) straight out of the pack. They will keep the black border solid black but the text box areas will will show a picture behind it like a planeswalker. Maybe this is the new standard or just the set. Maybe its just something special for Eldrazi cards
personally i dont like the new look, why be borderless except with a border?
maybe its an attempt to thwart extended altering?
That was the first thing I thought... though my guess is it will only be the norm for 'colorless' spells. But it still makes me wonder what sort of alters we'll be seeing of the eldrazi and friends.
If you look closely at ghostfire, you can see tuey already did this to a lesser extent. The tree at top right extends past the art box because of the colorless border. They're not trying to shut out the altered art people.
I believe this is a thing for the "colourless"-theme. Since they don't have a colour, the borders can't, either. Therefore they have to be transparent.
So, cards with "THIS IS COLOURLESS" and colourless non-artifact-creatures will be semi-borderless, like that.

Just got a playset of blightning and the best idea Ive ever had.
Give them all the Guy Fawkes mask.
OH. YES.
I don't generally purchase altered arts (though I've lurked around here for a couple years, and totally love most everything here, I'm playing Magic on a college student's budget. Not easy. MTGO mostly), but I would so totally buy these. Just brilliant.

I agree, it will probably only be for colorless spells. Some people are guessing that this will be an entirely colorless set, backed up by the fact the the spoiled card is number 6/245 of the set. Usually artifacts are higher up in the set number. Its *possible* that the whole set could be extended art even of its only for artifacts.

No, it's 6/245 because colorless is coming before white in this set. It's NOT an artifact, so it doesn't go in the artifact section.
Plus, there's no way a "K" card is going to be #6 and the other 239 cards will all come after it in the alphabet. I think there will probably be 10 or so of these colorless cards, and white will start in at #11 or so.

Nah, it's just for the few completely colorless eldrazi cards they're making. They're not artifacts and they have no color, so they made "clear" boarders just for these guys. The rest of the cards in the set will have normal borders.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with card altering at all, and these guys would look 10x better with their clear frames and the black card-borders altered over anyways.

An entirely colorless set would be interesting, but if it was going be all colorless why would they print 4 more of each basic land?
I thought wizards was going to stop the "real world" feel. Thats why Grizzly Bears was changed to Runeclaw Bear. Diminsh is awsome but quoting Alice's Adventures in Wonderland....what? Oh well.

The border is required to prevent cheating while shuffling. It hides what the card is when decks are slightly askew and there are some methods of cheating when the black/white borders aren't hidden. Plus the borders help hide minor variations in cutting when they separate the cards in the factory.
Actually, at Pro Tour level games you should make sure your alters still have solid black or white borders. At least that was true at San Diego, much to many player's dismay.
Good job guys! and thanks too! somehow pretty sure you are all listenin' to some of these great bands while doin your PNP entries and other alters...
I thought i would really be seeing more though...
@T4HM: that jhoira ROCKS!!! very smooth render, absolute WIN!
I didn't have the chance to get pics of mine...Meh. It was Black Metal - Clad Black Knight that upon completion I realized was loosely based on Jurgen from Metal Hammer Magazine...
Working on a Terminator alter right now - I'd personally love to see a bunch of Alien/Predator/Terminator alters for a pnp. I've seen a lot on this thread so they seem to be popular.
Black Lotus, Mox Sapphire and Ancestral Recall. And, yes, they are clear.
My bad, I meant recall.

This would make painted borderless cards a little less exciting What do you think?

Dude.
I am in awe. Just...WOW. I like how you worked in the in the color scheme. Pure win.
(but why does it appear that your sig (clever how you are starting to 'hide' it, btw, I like it) appears backwards & in reverse on that one?)
I'm also really diggin' that P9 Jace. I actually run Jace in a deck with 2 of those 3, lol. That would be too funny.
