Additional Watermarks

[Thom1729]

Unique card watermarks

There are a number of card watermarks that are unique to various sets or themes. Currently I plan to add all of these that are not just the set symbol. The following is a "complete" current list, pulled from MTGJSON's watermarks property, and based originally on @Thom1729's excellent initial issue from many years ago (full content below).

This list excludes all set symbols, which are contained in Keyrune more properly.

Excluded

The following watermarks will not be included in Mana as of now, since they're just existing set symbols that certain cards use for various reasons. I'm keeping these separate in Keyrune for now but this is absolutely up for feedback.

• Scars block has the Mirrodin Pure and Phyrexian symbols. Mirrodin Pure is excluded here.
• Wizards of the Coast default shooting star for promos, since this is used as a set symbol. Perhaps this should exist here too though considering how common it is.

Original ticket submitted by @Thom1729:

A number of card watermarks are not implemented.

The majority of these exist only on a handful of promotional cards. The Unstable watermarks, however, are gameplay-relevant, and they appear on Contraptions in icon form.

Scars Block

• Mirran
• Phyrexian

Unstable

• Agents of S.N.E.A.K.
• Crossbreed Labs
• Goblin Explosioneers
• Legion of Dastardly Doom
• Order of the Widget

Promotional

• D&D (Hascon)
• DCI

Revisiting this as I go through the issues.

While I agree Mana's goal is to have all card frame symbols, so many of these are redundant with the set symbols that are in Keyrune that I'm hesitant to add bloat here. On the other hand it seems arbitrary to only add some and not all.

I think I might draw the line at watermarks that are unique to the card frame (i.e. not just a repeat of the set symbol), like guild/clan/family logos. Open for other ideas though and different viewpoints.

@andrewgioia I just noticed a new watermark has arrived 😅 "desparked"

Oh, I created an .SVG for the despark symbol for the MTG Wiki:

It's traced from:

In terms of the other watermarks mentioned. I've got a bunch saved from the old Card Conjurer (prior to it's untimely death).
