Textless Disenchant

Textless refers to cards without any text and use the whole card frame for the artwork (i.e. missing a text box).[1]

Description

The first series of textless cards was given out by the DCI as part of the Magic Player Rewards program.[2] All of these promotional cards are instants or sorceries.

Additionally the Un-sets and Zendikar feature textless basic lands and Future Sight has a cycle of textless vanilla creatures. These have been officially referred to as "full frame".[3] They shouldn't be confused with full-art cards, which do feature card text. The tokens from Unglued are completely textless as well. Textless cards returned in 2019 as MagicFest promos. Some Secret Lair cards are functionally textless as the change to the frame and art does not fit any rules text.

Textless spells are allowed in DCI-sanctioned Magic tournaments they are legal in.
