==History== Flip cards were featured in the [[Kamigawa block]] and are easily recognizable by their unique [[card frame]].<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/flipping-out-2004-09-20|Flipping Out|[[Mark Rosewater]]|September 20, 2004}}</ref> The art is put in the center, depicting two characters oriented opposite to each other, and there are two text boxes on the top and bottom of the card. The type line is put under the text box, and when applicable the power and toughness is at the end. The expansion symbol is relegated to the bottom of the card, over some of the background shading. The ''Champions of Kamigawa'' set contained ten characters that became "[[hero]]es", ''[[Betrayers of Kamigawa]]'' five characters that became [[spirit]]s and ''[[Saviors of Kamigawa]]'' five [[monk]]s that became [[enchantment]]s. Now that [[double-faced card]]s exist, [[R&D]] has no plans to do any more flip cards.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/134508036098/in-lieu-of-what-was-mentioned-about-triple-faced|title=Odds about a double faced card of which one or both sides is also a flip card?|December 03, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/159623655468/do-you-think-well-ever-see-flip-cards-like|title=Do you think we'll ever see flip cards like Kamigawa's again?|April 15, 2017}}</ref> They are considered a failure.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/166690016503/if-youre-making-a-supplemental-set-eg-unstable|title=Do you consider flip cards, or does their inelegance when compared to DFCs make you just want to avoid them entirely?|October 22, 2017}}</ref>
