Simply supplying art means nothing. That means they could literally post any image and get the mandatory one point. Rendering means they have to take a step.
PlanesJaywalker:
Then it's even more unnecessary, it just consumes time and well, all those programs DO suck at good rendering. You need PS, which IS hard to render... tru5t m3
Well, if you want your points, you gotta work for it. I'm fine with not getting the full 3 points.
I agree with Meteor on this. I'd rather see the best cards go through, not mediocre ones that were able to supply art. And the renderings always suck, they look like crap and use stupid fonts like Palatino Linotype that aren't even close to real MTG Fonts. At least have them use MSE instead of MTGEditor so they get the fonts right. Otherwise they're downright painful to look at.
I agree. In my opinion, card making is all about skill with making cards abilities and such, not about pictures on cards. When wizards is in R&D they don't worry about cards pictures, only what the card does. After they make the card, then they commision a picture for it.
I rarely, if ever, use pictures on cards I make. If it lets me go farther in the game i'll do it, but I think you should reconsider. If you're worried about not having good art if the card wins, i'm sure that some of the staff can take a little bit of time to go out and find one picture that semi-fits the card.
