Wanted to preface this by saying that myself and a few friends picked up a few box sets, and have been having a blast with the game. We also plan on getting a booster box when available.
In our playing, only one thing stood out to us as being lack luster: Some of the card art is literally just re-painted line art. And used for multiple cards, in multiple decks.
Examples:
Wall of Sand and Wall of Ears
Dark Angel and Sand Angel
All the Eyebats
Evil Eye/ Heavenly Gazer
all the mer-people
While some of the art looks straight from the show- like Field Reaper, some of the lands, cooldog, etc. (which wouldnt make any sense to have as the actual art on the cards, as the card art wouldnt look like holograms- they look like holograms because thats how the game is shown in the show).
Some of the art is pretty interesting:
Psionic Architect (still fits in AT style while looking almost old school and abstract at the same time)
teleport
Field of Nightmares
I had read previously that the art was that used from the app game, which would explain the re-used art (easier to reuse the same 3d models and just retexture them, I get it), but for the actual game makes it feel...cheap. This makes myself, and my group, pretty bummed as the game play is very fun.
Basically, for the boosters, and new products, will the quality in art go up? it would be great to have art that isnt re-used illustrator art, or rips from the show. Its a great game, and would be awesome to be able to appreciate it all the more.
Thank you!
