Youd think that the artists would be given some inkling about the effect of the card to help them match the art to the card, but thats not the case, as Fackova explains: The brief doesnt describe what the card will do in the game so we dont specifically know the mechanics when we work on the art. The brief I receive specifies the colour(s) the card will be associated with, what plane it exists on, the requested subject matter, and any features theyd like to be made prominent, adds Finnigan
