For many years, Magic: the Gathering had a stellar record of clear, thoughtful card templating and careful proofreading.
That's... no longer true. So here's The Spite Binder, an outlet for my pedantry. (The name made more sense when the idea was to hurt my own wallet filling a binder with these printings to correct them in red pen.)
This is not intended as a mean-spirited dig at the MtG card editing team. I'm sure they deserve better management that gives them the time and tools to keep up with the company's breakneck release schedule.
