I kinda have to agree. They got really good with the animated card art, while the CGI leaves much to be desired.
I don't even know why they actually bother with the CGI at all. One scene of CGI takes like 20 times as long to make as the same scene with animated card art. If not more.
As someone that has studied the 3D animation process in school... I fully agree. I mean, I think they did a bang up job creating CGI Ugin. But overall I disliked the CGI, especially Sarkhan's look, too me he didn't seem as fierce as he spoke as in the Khans of Tarkir trailer. And when he pushed the Hedron to Ugin, I got a very Wizards 101 vibe from it.
I think the difference in quality is even more apparent in the Origins trailer. The animated card art is fine. But when there's this scene with little coolkid Chandra fighting, it looks somewhat like a student project.
Thats what I though about the Duels of the Planeswalker 2014 bits of CGI that during the story mode. I don't know, they should really focus on the card art trailers, or get better animators at least.

It is quite good. Although, the Journey into Nyx one remains my favorite.
