While at MagicCon Vegas in late September this year, I spoke with Mike Turian, product architect for Magic (though his role while M21 was in design was principal product designer, according to his LinkedIn), and he confirmed that for M21 the design for showcase cards was intended to keep the text boxes clean and uncluttered, kind of like you would see in simple but powerful spells with only a few words on them, like Wrath of God or Counterspell
