To note is that the colored border continues on the bottom of the cards, The difference in the border size when compared to newer ones. Just looking at the older cards, I can see We’ll only be measuring the older design, since the Eighth Edition border is like a Frankenstein monster mishmash of the older and newest design. Older cards had the colored border encompass the card’s title, type, and set symbol areas, while the newer redesigned cards added boxes around these and slightly narrowed the colored borders. Quick note: the borders were redesigned slightly in July 2003 with the release of Core Set 8th Edition.

The text box for its part measures about 2.3”x1.28”, or 59×32.5 mm. This brought the art box measurements up to approximately 2.3”x1.8”, or 59x45mm. Originally, the art box measured 2.1”x1.8”, but the border size was decreased in Magic 2015 to allow for a slightly bigger picture. They’re spot on when compared to “regular” playing cards (also called “poker Well, we mentioned already that they have a similar construction.

Digital images-like MTG cards on MTG Online or MTG Arena-are measured in pixels per inch (ppi), while the printing resolution of those images (i.e., how printed images are measured) is measured in dots per inch (dpi).
