Yes, once for my favorite element, but not more.
9 (20.9%)
Yes, maybe two, three or even four times to get the ones I really like.
14 (32.6%)
Yes, in the course of time each foil once or a similiar amount. (or more)
5 (11.6%)

special card backs (think solitaire) possibly with an element of your choice as the design?  it would change the backs of opponent cards maybe?  elements themed design choices for the play area?
I like this idea
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Just for the record, I thought I'd expand a little bit on my earlier post - even though the thread's been moved and will therefore never be read again.

I've made the Chimera, and obviously, I've made a whole range of other art for Elements. For this, I was never paid a penny - which, really, I could've seen coming, since zanz himself works with a donation-based system. Our previous forum admin, Scaredgirl, also never quite allowed me to set up a thread like the one I have here. That our current admins did allow this, and a number of members actually used it, I'll be ever so grateful for.

However, I've had people mention a few things regarding foils and donations; not in the least, there's been quite a few people who got Chimera's thinking I received part of those donations. Let it be clear, I don't. However, the fact that people would is something I find encouraging, and it's something I'd love to be a part of - especially since I've been told more than once now that the main reason for some people not to send me a direct donation is that they feel they don't 'get anything' for it.

In a nutshell: I've been hoping for this for a while, hope zanz will hit me up.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

What about foil Marks? I don't mean Mark Cards, since those are highly exclusive and for good reason. I mean you would donate and the Mark of your choice would now appear with a fancier look. You would need to donate 12 times to fancy up all the Marks. If you played a Mark card, it would still stack with your fancy Mark, but the fancy Mark would still be the displayed Mark (but now with a multiplier on top).

Your Mark is always showing. You will always be able to show off your Mark. When queueing for PVP(2), people will see your fancy Mark.

Heyho, sorry about shamelessy bumping this, but a few days ago, there was a discussion about exactly this topic, so this is still up to date. There should be quite some people active at the moment that missed this the last time it was brought up, so I think it makes sense to up it.

Let's analyze the results of the poll.

-From the group of people that wouldn't buy a foil card, only 20% would be willing to spend money on a different reward.

-Thus, 80% of the users that voted that wouldn't buy a foil card wouldn't spend money on any different reward in this game anyway.

-Quite exactly 2/3 of the users that voted would be interested in foil cards and buy not one, but a few on average.

I wouldn't really like the game quite as much with so many foils. It adds to the elitist aspect too much.
