It would be even better if you had any idea what you were doing.

I figure having uniform colors for creatures makes more sense considering how many different colors we have now.

I'll have a spell done soon.

I like this one a lot. Looks like a professional card.

I find the triangle behind the Ice logo a bit annoying, it doesn't settle in easily for me. The cost number has this sideways triangle, which I don't see the point in having. If its a styling thing, then It should be centered in the area above the image, i.e a little higher. Also even though it looks "okay" with cost 7, I think it'll look really awkward with a number like 6 or 4. Other than that the card name text isn't as clear and easy to read as it should be, it should at least be as big as the Quadrant/Attribute and Race text if not bigger.

I disagree with you, Micky, on nearly every point. I absolutely love this design and feel that we're moving in a positive direction. The only things I really agree with are the name text and the tiny white triangle next to the cost.

Dude, its not really "disagreeing on nearly every point" when you are agreeing with 2 of the 3 things I said.

I agree with the name text only. I like that small triangle next to cost.
And Micky no need to jump so much at fonts. A proper font can be agreed upon later. It is possible Burner is using it temporarily.

As for the font of the cost number, I don't dislike that at all. I was pointing out that other numbers would look awkward when but along side the triangle and that the 7 is looking "okay" because of the correlating shape it has with the triangle.

I didn't even say anything about the fonts, I like the fonts. I said it needs to be 'bigger' so that its clear and easy to read. Please get your facts straight before telling me what I should and shouldn't do.

That card's background should be in a forest or something, @ first page.
