It'd be interesting to lay one of these actual cards on top of a WoW card to see how much the main borders and separators match up. I wonder if they had a directive to make the cards similar so the base design of each card would be interchangable and the presses would be similar and require less cost to setup new ones?

Any idea where the mutant traits will be? Are there even mutants in war craft? oh wait this is vs still right?

After looking at it more, maybe they are giving us more art? It just looks like less because it's wider? I'm trying to give credit where it's due. If it's due.

But the Flight & range symbols are really obscure. I can only thing they'd be better off, like on the left side of the affiliation bar (on the opposite side of the sun & moon). And the son and moon.... ugh.

I don't care much for the symbol behind the recruit cost. Is this supposed to actually represent anything? Just looks like the WoW online game map or something. I preferred the left justified card name too, though that isn't a real big deal.

If they come out with a Quest card for VS constructed I'm so selling everything.

You're SOOOOOO clever. All those BIG words were really distracting ME from your POINT, and I get WHAT you're saying now. You're RIGHT - the word ACTIVATE was taking up way too much room. Thiiiiiiiiiiink of how much art I kill every time I spell activate, let alone such long, complex words as concealed. At least on starving artist dies every time.

Activate. Activate. I'm coming for you, starving artists.

See, being talked to like an idiot isn't fun. Also, please note, there is ample room for them on the new cards to have spelled out such things as 'activate' and 'concealed' on the cards taking literally 0 space away from the art. The only point you actually made was that taking the team affiliation and putting it below the art gives you more room for art. And most people agreed, though the art on Beatdown does look smushed, so what they really did was change the kind of art from, basically, a box to a rectangle. Not that much of a change.

the cards look like wow cards...

Why thanks, I think I am clever too! Glad you saw my point.

Do people here have some weird hatred for WOW cards? Nevermind the game, but the actual cards? The art on those cards are larger and more consistantly stunning than VS. They even turned the cards into buyable art sets because the work is solid.

That solicitation thingy that we have been seeing said more rares, and now we have cards that number over 220, so it seems to add up.

I think it looks fine. Everyone is going crazy because it is different than the originals. I do wonder how they will do the EAs now...

I'm sorry but if they wanted to add more art just make the text boxes smaller, oh wait thats an Extended Art, which by definition means more art. The new card format is awful, look at the side by side comparison of the 2 styles in the article. On the old art the important things like Team Affiliation jumps out at you, on the new art...what the hell does a sun mean(no matter what anyone says its almost always easier for a new player to understand a word then to have to learn a symbol). Overall an A for effort....wait they just copied WOW cards so effort and execution get F's from me. Oh and people complain that they dont like VS cards looking like WOW because VS is not WOW, just like if it looked like YugiOh people would complain. This just makes me dread the rules update that is coming.

I keep going back and forth, but one thing I can remain steady on is that this is simply change for the sake of change. Most of the new look isn't anything that was complained about or needed at all (splitting ATK/DEF?), and it's going to be a bit annoying having to explain to people why Activate is not Activate now and a little "turn your card" thingy, not to mention the myriad other changes we have to adjust to, like the different keywords and team symbols. Speaking of which are they REALLY going to give every team a little symbol? Who's bright idea was that?

Meh, I just don't see the need for this at all, a new card format isn't going to bring new players into the game.

Look at the card numbers they are way over 220

Hoorah! Now we can use move stunned concealed characters back to the hidden area!

Juggernaut is going to be the new Leeroy Jenkins.

But his 'cost' is much more fun to yell ;)

While I personally like the new design I think the argument that this is good for new players is BS. That argument assumes they never buy anything pre Legends which is absurd as old as the game is now...I will dread having to explain the fact that there are 2 card designs for locations characters ect. and what the diferences are. Our Rules question forum is gonna be even more insane for newbs.
