Heh. That's a lot of work you're asking for there, implementing each of those for five colours, gold (including 11 pinlines), artifact, land, ten hybrids, colourless, plus seventeen land frames, plus the token version of all these.

My approach here has been that I'll provide one card render/mockup engine, and if people want other ones, you can design them in MSE, upload them to imgur, and specify an image URL in your cards.

So I theoretically could do this, and it might even be fun, but most other features are rather higher priority.

I'd like this too; but yeah, probably a horrible amount of work.

I agree that for the purpose of a multiverse database, frames without mechanical consequences are unnecessary.

As would I. However, I'm very surprised that the emblem frame wasn't included with the 'walker frame. Speaking of emblems, the "emblem" type needs added as well.

You can already create cards of whatever type you like - see Choke Point, The Enemy's Gate is Down, Britannian Faction etc. And indeed people have already created emblems plenty of times here; you can even give them the token frame, as on Emblem: Druin Fano.

The emblem frame is pretty, but pretty tricky.

I don't understand the point of this request. Multiverse isn't for making realistic proxies.

Weelll... I can kinda see it. It's not like that card to the left is a white box with black lines on it (even though some people have asked for that too :P). I do try to provide an approximation to the current frame - enough so that I spent a couple of hours tweaking things to match the M15 frame. You can print out visual spoilers, stick them in sleeves, and use them for playtesting; the site deliberately allows that (and the upcoming decklists feature will make it easier).

So if Wizards come up with a new kind of card frame that'll be in many sets going forward, like planeswalkers, I'd expect to add that.

Single-block "gimmick" frames, though, will be a lower priority. That includes level up, the Nyx starfield, and the Planar Chaos and Future Sight frames. All are possible, as is even the 7th Edition frame, but... lower priority.

I think that indeed if you want renders with your own frames and whatever, probably it is better to use separate programs to render them (of which MSE is probably the most popular one, but not the only one).
