At first I thought it was a printing error, but I see the same thing in scryfall images of the card. They’ve done a lot of variations with the card art over the years but I’ve never seen an art variation that obscures the card text itself (excluding cards that omit the text entirely because the card is well known, like Islands).
I’m just surprised that I can’t even find anyone talking about it because it seems like an odd design choice to me.
Ironically enough, when I tried joining a commander game at my local shop recently, thinking my improvement of the Tidus Counter deck might be competitive, one of the othet decks stopped me from being able to damage the player at all using a land from the Ice Age set, which was one of the first expansion sets the game had.
Glacial Chasm, and it made me look in to what kind of land hate blue, white, and green have (other then Armageddon). The thing has a cumulative upkeep of 2 life, which should really limit how long it stays in play, but buddy had a consistent way of bouncing it back to his hand and then playing it again (plus landfall bonuses).
