The design process for MTG cards is pretty fascinating! First, there's a concept phase where the creative team dreams up the new set's theme, mechanics, and the overall story. Then, game designers create initial designs for cards that fit these themes and mechanics creatively. These ideas undergo lots of testing and tweaking to balance gameplay. Art and flavor texts get added to match the set's story and aesthetic, making each card not just a piece of the game but a piece of art!

Actually, it's all about the balance. Wizards of the Coast has teams dedicated to making sure each card plays well with others, isn't too weak or too strong, and fits the game's lore. It's like cooking; they keep adjusting the recipe until it's just right.

Gotta say, not all cards hit the mark. Some end up too powerful or not powerful enough. It's a complex process, and not every design is a winner.
