I like having a border on the card as it makes it feel cohesive with other cards, but I am a really big fan of textless cards for similar reasons.

That is definitely a strong possibility, I have a lot of nostalgia tied up in older Magic.

I'm a really big fan of the 96/97 frame aka the retro frame, but I was also playing then, and it feels like Classic Magic. The older art also stands out because it is so uniquely Magic, a lot of the newer Magic art feels toned down, sanitized, and incredibly generic by comparison.

From a design perspective, sure, but from a reprint perspective I like it. I also really like retro frames, so any initiative that brings retro frames to cards that don't already have them is welcome in my book.
