Flip Cards, Transforming Cards, Two-Sided Cards
I'm fascinated by the design possibilities in this space. The Kamigawa guys, the Werewolves, the morphs.
Can you think of a way for a card to have more than two sides? I would like to have a card that's more complicated than a level up card, but that levels up. I'm not sure how to do it.
Also, here is my favorite creation:

If you mean a card that physically had three sides, I don't think it's something MTG would ever do. Mark Rosewater talked about something similar in the BlogAtog post below, though. I looked into it briefly and it just isn't something that fits with MTG.

Honestly a Kamigawa flip transitioning into a transformation would be VERY hard to balance
(I had to "create" the art for the flip card by combining two of Anna's pieces.)
Something I made a long time ago (2018); I decided to fix these four cards.
This Fatecast mechanic, for example, might do well in a set based around the past, present and future for the purpose of telling little internal "what happened after this creature died" stories. It might be used a lot in that theoretical set and so would be keyworded to save space and give cohesion to cards.
