I have just bought a set of Oath of the Gatewatch cards, and a few of them have a small shiny oval on the bottom center, like Corrupted Crossroads.
What does this mean?

1It is similar to the Eye of Anubis that the yugioh cards have. – Neil Meyer Feb 05 '16 at 06:36

As of the Magic 2015 redesign, rare and mythic rare cards will have a spot at the bottom of the card frame containing a small holofoil stamp. This has two effects:
- It makes it harder to produce counterfeit versions, so it's a sign of authenticity.
- It makes the card seem more special. Look, shiny!
