Absolutely love the elegance of the rarity bands. I do think they should be universally off-white for the unupped and dark gray for the upped, to match the card names. There would be enough contrast with and for it to work.
I also love the new backgrounds. At first, I thought I was going to hate them, but 's new background is much more beautiful (no more dead rocks!). Maybe they could use a little more contrast, especially , which looks mostly plain on the card.
Yeah that's what i'm talking about, more contrast:
old
border was cool!
or check
upped cards: there you spot that the background is water.
same for
: its a leaf behind, one look and you dig it, that is awesome.
but
and
as i said are so similar: color close the same and no contrast, i mean sand on time card is so cheap, its like they not there you have to look a lot to spot it, its not enough ''blingbling", the sand idea is really nice it fit it good, just make it more nice for peoples who's blind like me
for
i like the brighter effect, i think it fit good the aether side.
is also kinda poor, put on some clouds in the background.
old
background isnt my friend
looks cheap, nothing special on it, and if i'm not wrong it's the same as other
is nice but need some more contrast also i think, something more agressive
the contrast betwin unnup and upped cards is big, but it change nothing at the deal, poor background
background = nothing xD
what i want to say, it's i dont juge any backgrounds, it a LOT of work and i'm not able to do so.
but if you ask me, i think that borders need some style buff!
i know zanz can make miracles.
EDIT about ZanZ new backgrounds:
entropy: awesome but, not enough contrast
death: as i said old isnt my friend, i really like this one, the color make the death look strong and cold
earth: kinda same as the other, still lookin like time cards
life: kinda cheaper than the old one
darkness: for me the old is better
so i think ZanZ want to go to a smother way than my ideas, just focus on color and not too much on image/color/contrast.
