Those cards seem to be the easiest to identify. Most of the Dark Visions cards that we see are Artifacts, Multicolor, Green, & Black. If the card has this, you can be pretty sure that it's Dark Visions, but Dark Visions also exists without the splatter. Some Dark Visions cards have random dots of black ink (splatter?) in the text box area.

Comparing to some of the pictures posted below may be helpful. Unfortunately, that's to subjective for a positive identification. These extra dark cards have come to be known as Dark Visions.Įxperience seems to be the best way. That was normal for the time.Īt least some cards in Visions have an extra dark variation that is much darker than anything else.

Other sets that were made around that same time frame (noteably Mirage) also had slight color variations. This happened early in the timeframe when Carta Mundi started printing in the USA (Kingsport Tennessee) in addition to printing at the older facility in Belgium. It looks like Visions had a few different color variations.

I've done some research into Dark Visions.
