Card back
The card back is printed onto the back of each Magic card, excepting Double-faced Cards. The back of each card is identical outside Commemorative Sets and features the Magic: The Gathering logo, a representation of the color wheel and the word "Deckmaster" at the bottom, all on top of a brown background with an oval shape meant to represent the cover of a book. The back stayed unchanged during the 8th Edition revision of the card frame.
Different backs
Originally it was planned to feature different backs for each Arabian Nights and each follwing expansion but this was infeasible as people would be able to tell which card they would probably draw next depending on the ratio of cards from each expansion in their decks.[1]
Logo
Since the card back cannot change, it features some imperfections as the logo is an older, blue version which has since been updated for yellow with red trim. .
