In more detail

A March 2025 preview of Tarkir: Dragonstorm on the Magic news site MTG Rocks describes borderless art as reaching all the way to the card's edges and showing through the text boxes, and notes that most recent sets have had it. Wizards' 2021 Booster Fun article for Modern Horizons 2 quotes a Wizards art director saying borderless art gives artists more room and larger dimensions than the standard frame.

Wizards' product guide lists showcase, borderless and extended-art cards among the special features of Collector Boosters, and set pages name their own borderless styles: Edge of Eternities Collector Boosters each hold a Borderless Celestial basic land. An MTG Rocks guide to Foundations, from October 2024, says two positions in each of that set's Collector Boosters always hold a borderless or extended-art card, in non-foil, at rare or mythic rare.

An MTG Rocks guide to Modern Horizons 3 notes that each borderless card in that set has art separate from its bordered version. Because the art differs, match the frame as well as the set and the number when you buy or list one.
