Knight of Infamy

Reflection Cards Frequency

Are "opposite" cards like Knight of Glory/Knight of Infamy still a thing? I don't recall any recent examples

We call them reflections. We still do them but at a much lower rate than early Magic.

Core Set Mechanic Coincidence

Is it coincidence or intentional that so far every core set returning mechanic has been in black? (M11 and scry with Viscera Seer, M12 and bloodthirst with Bloodrage Vampire and friends, M13 and exalted with Knight of Infamy and friends, and M14 and slivers with Syphon Sliver.)

It’s not some master conspiracy. : )

Mirrored Creatures Dynamic

Why are white and black the most likely to get opposed pairs of creatures (all the way from White Knight/Black Knight in Alpha all the way to the recently spoiled Knight of Glory/Knight of Infamy)? Don't other enemy colors deserve mirrored creatures?

Other colors can and do get pairs but black and white is about as iconic as opposites get. The expression for opposites is even “it’s black and white”.
