I found the one way backs!

Hey everyone1 IO found the one way backs on the guardians and I was wondering if I'd be able to pist them? (They are the second most subtle one ways I've ever seen. After the tally circle back)
 
actually i found that the spikes coming off of the center circle are different on the right than the left...or is it the left from the right....what ever you get the point!
 
i really don't know why everyone is talking about the slight off-center back design, there's a much easier way to see the one-way backdesign:
take a guardian, look at the back, the upper left and lower right corner. in every corner there's a square with a circle in the middle that looks kind of a screw, and below one of those screws there's a grey square, and there isn't below the other one.
 
Actually, this is not a mis-print (the boarder coming off a bit) But that is another way. my way is much better and will work when the re-print them.
 
All you have to do is dribble them slowly while you are looking at the backings, and the design flaw becomes obvious.

I thought the one way backs were done on purpose. Anyway, if it is a flaw, it'll probably be fixed in the second editions.

Cheers,

Yes, this was an intentional design choice, as the VERY subtle one-way opens up a world of effect possibilities. It's one of the most subtle one-ways I've seen to date. Regarding the width of the borders-- that varies from deck to deck depending on the alignment of the sheet on the USPCC presses.
 
This is the second most subtle I've seen. It's to the left of the guardians. One is morelike a box than the other.
 
I thought the one way on Guardians was very obvious when I looked for it, but you'd never notice if you didn't know it was there.
