Updated the first post to include links to Morphling and Sinkhole (changed the thread subject to reflect that as well). Also show the picture Cruz attached.
Before doing any reading of the thread, it took me a couple of minutes to figure out why this was actually interesting. Of course, once I did, I realized it's fantastic.
I'd love to see them continue this with other current-frame cards (they're not new anymore guys). Umezawa's Jitte, Tarmogoyf, Shocklands, Arcbound Ravager. Heck, even Skullclamp would be great.
ANY printing of a card NOT in the new frame is a GODSEND!! The new frames are absolutely terrible. I've always wondered how long it would take WoTC to realize they biggest mistake EVER MADE in the history of MTG.

Wow, so much love for the old frames!
I have more difficulty reading old frame cards in play than new ones, I like the cleanness of the new frame, and I find it easier to teach people with new frame cards.
That said, old frame artifacts like this look awesome.
man this makes me wish I wasnt so damn poor! lol cause thats the stones

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Bleh. I hate art produced for cards originally made in the new card frame in old borders. Don't get me wrong, I love the old borders and the new, but something about more recent art just looks really off for the old borders. The contrast between the sword of fire and ice art and the brown makes the card look really crappy, in my opinion. Most old artifact art was somewhat washed out and darker than more recent art, which fit the border. This just looks awkward.
Green, Blue, Black, Red, and Artifacts look better in old frames.
White and multicolour (sorry but the old multicolour frames were plain ugly, no ammount nostalgia will blind me from that fact) look better in the frames.

I actually liked the old gold frames a lot, the new yellow ones look worse :(.
I wonder if Wizards has been keeping tabs on the Cube / Make a Proxy thread? Old-school proxies of new cards seem pretty popular over there. Maybe an Alpha-Beta-Unlimited planeswalker is in the works? That would be so sweet!

I would have to say the reserve list is that one. For those of us with cubes, old frame sword is sick.
i think old frames look better all around, the lines are crisper and colors representations are better (like red was some kind of stone, bubbling muck of black, marble white ect)
i def think the darker artifact boarder color represents what artifacts are much better than the lighter colored new frames. it would be pretty cool if they printed all the new frame powerful cards in old frame, stuff like the eldrazi which are supposed to be ancient superpowerful beings and such
Can anyone make out the collector number on the card?
I'm here in Chiba with it sitting on the desk in my hotel room. The collector number is 2/8 G11. AFAIK, this means that it's the second of the eight that will be made in the 2011 calendar year. They typically distribute two new ones per Pro Tour, so if this matches, it will be given out at Paris in February.
To give you the run down on what this Pro Tour's judge foil packet contained (for me at least, though I believe most all of us got the same):
Also, they were unable to properly arrange for the daily meal stipend they usually give judges, so instead they gave us each an extra packet with something "special", which included one each of the following:
Sword of Fire and Ice (of course)
Intuition
Vampiric Tutor
Argothian Enchantress

Once again, kind of makes me wish I was a judge.
Interesting..
That is a very good question..would help us predict what's the future with these.

Love the sinkhole and the morphling though.

But at least it was gold vs the gold-colored (and kinda unremarkable) texture it is now. They had a vibrance and character the new frame lacks.
