I like your blended borders and the fade you used in the brigade box for the 2 brigade Joshua. The later feels like it would be a really nice update to the game's current card design. The identifier box feels like a major improvement over the status quo.

A couple nitpicks - Ahaz should be a Judah, not Israel. Even with the WCC label Joshua still needs a reference.

I agree with Gabe here. The contrast makes it very easy to read and the box around it keeps you from skipping over it. The older you get the more important this becomes with fine print stuff...  ::)

Overall, a nice look that would not be hard to transition to from a players perspective. This is a fresh new look that doesn't try to reinvent the wheel for the Redemption card face.


Godspeed,
Mike

I don't recall if I've said it elsewhere but I'm really excited to have Daniel back in the Redemption community!

Yes! Welcome back also from my side. Design looks great to me - really good readability and the identifier accentuation is like I'd like to have it and as I already suggested a while ago! Awesome!

The only thing I wonder is whether contrast would be high enough to get everything symbolic at a glance during gameplay - even more if maybe lighting conditions might be bad/not so good?
What about other icons (like TC class)? Where should they be placed?

Thank you Gabe, that means a lot.

Got a cool black-border evil dominant! I think this is my favorite one so far.

Hey, these are great! As always! Just thought I'd share, if you want to keep working on this sort of design - for cards with a long identifier text, like with "Holds", "Unity", "Taunt", or "X=" details, like these cards: https://thejambi.github.io/RedemptionCCGViewer/?GYXgdgpAzAgghnATgezAcgM4QEwAYMAucwwOAwgMbIDuOucARtAEKSwAmApgG7ICuiAJZgA5nQaDE7LNjIoAVnUYs2MRAgC2GTh iA (https://thejambi.github.io/RedemptionCCGViewer/?GYXgdgpAzAgghnATgezAcgM4QEwAYMAucwwOAwgMbIDuOucARtAEKSwAmApgG7ICuiAJZgA5nQaDE7LNjIoAVnUYs2MRAgC2GThiA), perhaps could consider splitting how the identifier is currently used out into two parts. I'm not sure what to call that second part, like the identifying ability details, but it feels like it would be nice to have it set apart from the "King of Israel" kind of identifiers.
