TWITTER THREAD TWITTER THREAD! MTG is currently suffering through the ugliest series of cards they've ever had. But I think YGO players can do better! How BADLY can you design the upcoming full arts? This is the bar:

@MBTYuGiOh Every time I see an extended art of an existing card, I am deeply disturbed if they're given feet. Its so unnatural. I hate it. Of all the possible frame break possibilities, slapping feet all over my card arts is the least desirable. 🤢

@MBTYuGiOh Why ruin the art with all that unnecessary text.

@MBTYuGiOh WARNING: Spoiler next Full art

@MBTYuGiOh i believe the ygo card layout is flawed from the begining. and so are MTG's. i can count with my hand tcgs that made fullart cards correctly, the first one is pokemon tcg of course and the second one is my darling, cardfight vanguard. just dont look at the butt ugly secret rares

@MBTYuGiOh my 10 years of experience in graphic design comin in clutch, oh btw this is definitely full art

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh All they have to do is the art and then just a miasma in the background. Think every DM era card or the amorphage monsters. I admit ot CAN be done well but it just makes me long for something more fun. "Hey Jerry we got this cool dragon art where should we put the-" "P U R P L E"

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Made this one from scratch (Ignore previous one, forgot about the full art)

@MBTYuGiOh Since they said frame breaks, they could still fuck it up by doing this for all of them

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Gotta go for textless full art of an advanced Yu Gi Oh staple

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh This is the perfect time for a air neos reprint

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh They give us the dub anime style cards where they can't show the effect due to advertisement laws

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh After enlisting the help of AI-Commentary for the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships Konami has turned to the talented "artists" of NexusMods to design their debut line of full arts for the TCG.

@MBTYuGiOh Just copy what Galzo was doing with full arts a few months ago, or in other words, completely remove all text boxes and color so identifying the card type becomes an absolute nightmare.

@MBTYuGiOh Graphic design is my passion

@MBTYuGiOh dude that's literally just a Vanguard card on the right https://x.com/TrinityNovaVT/st...

@MBTYuGiOh There is only 1 correct answer

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Fuck it, you gotta work for it if you want ANY info outta this guy

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh inspired by the shitty 3d pokemon full arts

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Since Magic printed tournament legal Phyrexian language cards, maybe we could get tournament legal Hieroglyphic cards as well? The Egyptian Gods are obvious but it could also work for Hieratics and Ogdoadics too.

@MBTYuGiOh saw these ugly japanese exclusive ygo frames sure hope these NEVER come to the west!

@MBTYuGiOh "we at konami noticed there wasn't enough space for the card art and we also noticed fans wanted more iconic scenes from the duel monsters anime. so for our first full art card we used the iconic scene where kaiba summons bewd and removed all the filler from the card art"

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh I wamted to do this with one of the more, uh, *alien* designs but none of the images fit vertically very well. (No language existed in the Cambrian sea so I picked the oldest one I could find a translator for)

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Hear me out. In order to MAXIMIZE card art real estate, why even bother putting text on it at all? Just include a QR code with a link to the official database entry! This solves the problem with too much text on cards too!

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Whatever, go my Elemental HERO Wildheart (alt art overush) (Also everytime i have to get this image of Wildheart I HAVE TO BUILD HIM EVERYTIME, PART BY PART)

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Kinda suck that the full pendulum monster card art got blocked by the pend text, so why not just stretch it Now you can see odd eyes feet in all of its glory

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh As excited as I am for the new full arts, there is definitely a world where they get too cute with incorperating effect text into the art, pokemon suffered from this. Anyway this is my take on that

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh this IS based on the most recently shown new cards but i think we can do it better

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh what if we take the dark world cards and color the border in the same colors as their names like sillva would be a silver bordered card, reign-beaux would have this ugly af color, grapha would still have the same border because it's graphite etc or just do the whole card idk

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh I think we should go back to the OG yugioh card designs where they don't even write out the effects. Only print vibes. We all know what every card does anyways

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Full art armoured glass showing the matching glass crocs.

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh well if they're supposed to be border breaks i guess it would probably look a little like this

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh instead of just putting the card text where it would normally go but with no text box, why not incorporate the card text into the art itself?

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh Whipped this up myself because I thought it would be *really* funny if it actually happened. I don't even think it looks that bad. He just a goofy lil guy.

Image in tweet by MBT

@MBTYuGiOh 2 options: undynamic slop having nothing exciting to show or youtube thumbnail slop making them unusable as game pieces and only made for collectors to put in pack opening video thumbnails
