The Onslaught and Mirage fetch lands' text boxes went from multi-colored to solid yellow with the last update. I appreciate the consistency, but it makes them less convenient to play with. And if you're going to get consistent this late in the game with v3, give Lake of the Dead  a black text box.

Shouldn't MTGO arts always be the same as the set they are from?
Btw the yellow looks VERY UGLY.

I like that they've retconned and standardized the color schemes. Otherwise the text boxes of Maze of Ith  would be purple, Mishra's Workshop  would be pink, Undiscovered Paradise  would be green, etc. Having yellow for lands that produce no mana, colorless mana, or greater than 2 colors works and that's what it ended up being in paper by the end of the old-frame design. But I think fetches should have their own design, simply because it helps you see what they get. And the modern-frame fetches do it that way.

One thing that bugs me is when they pooch a few hundred dollars worth of nostalgia graphics. The first time I tried that beta I was like "why do I have $300 dollars worth of lands looking like somebody dropped Urborg, tomb of yawgmoth  and the other ones are normal."
A card online should resemble a card in paper IMO. Another graphics flaw is to have a card like stoneforge mystic  . In v3 I can resize the card till it takes up half of a 23" high resolution monitor and the last word "battlefield" will still be represented by "..."
Ever try playing a deck of flavor text only crits and look at the generic battlefield laid out before you? What's with that why can't they display the quotes on the card?
 -.- really?
I want my cards to look close to paper awesome not stripped of info or discolored to further define the reason I included it into my deck.

For the beta go to Account - Display & Sound Settings and tick the "Show Flavor Text" option.
For the Live client go to Menu - Settings - Game Play and cross the "Show flavor text" option.

Yeah flavor text is an option. And I think it appears and disappears according to the size of the card.
I agree and disagree with cretonic. I think the cards should look like their paper counterparts in regards to care of design and quality of artwork (as in, I agree this could be greatly improved, from font choice to scaling, to expansion symbols lining up and being properly sized). However, I also like what a digital environment brings to the game. I always have flavor text turned off because it just distracts me. And again I like the retconning of card design and colors. I also like that all the cards show their current oracle text.
I just want things to be consistent and correct and take advantage of the digital platform.
