Since no one commented on this, I'm probably alone on this one.
Have you guys not been slightly weirded out by the awkward rarity crystal on the new Deathstalker Rexxar card?
Why did they do it in such a way that the crystal would be partially covered? It looks so... "oh shit, the crystal gets covered with this layout... oh well, whatever". I was actually curious enough to see if it would look better if the crystal was brought to the front, but it still looks strange:
So, what do you think? Have you even noticed this or am I the only one :P ?
I have noticed that it looks kind of weird, personally, I'd like if the crystal jutted out a bit more into the text area so you could see all of it without blocking part of the name too.
Dude this is Hearthpwn not Reddit to post quality shitpost lol.
Seems fine to me as it is. You won't really lose a game because of the coverage of the crystal. It's rather the effect or what you get afterwards (control card that won't really save you against quest rogue or pirate warrior). Seems like hunter and warlock are loosers in this year
This year? hunter seemed like a really good class in the beggining of unguru it's the other stuff that got more broken lol and we only had 1 expansion "this year" so I wouldn't delete hunter and warlock from HS yet

You might not care about how it looks. But when you say that it's ok as long as you don't lose a game because of how it looks I'm forced to go hardcore on msPaint.
you are not alone, i noticed this too. but i just thought it might not be the final design we'll see ingame. at least i hope so. if it stays like this, i will quit hearthstone forever...
well... of course not, but i will be a litte sad

While the crystal is covered up a bit, it looks smoother compared to your alternative. They didn't have enough space to push the card name up or the textbox down, since it wouldn't be in line with all the other cards and look even weirder. Personally I like the covered crystal more.
Yeah, I did make clear I found my version strange also.
I disagree with saying "they didn't have enough space". They're the ones in control of everything, the size of the image, the space for the card text and the shape of the banner. They could have found a different solution, that's for sure, they just either didn't think this was a problem or couldn't care enough to do it. Since some people seem to agree with me that it does look sketchy, maybe they should have given this one a little more attention.

it's probably the curse of the designer, that makes some people notice this. as i can clearly see from your snowflake thread, you probably have some background in graphic design. it is a small detail, that most people won't care about.
but yeah, they could have found another solution. now that i thought about it, i think the rarity crystal could as well be completely round on the hero cards. they could even work without a crystal, because all hero cards will probably be legendaries. the only problem with that would be, that it could feel weird getting a hero card from a pack.

Your version looks worse to me. Simply because the rarity gem is a larger aspect of the cards construction. As a designer, the banner/name would likely be the last thing you would add to the card and is supposed to look like it is placed on top and not connected to the card in anyway.
Yeah this was the first thing I noticed when I saw the card. I would like if they placed the crystal in front, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. :P
What if they made the words "death stalker rexxar" the legendary color rather than having a gem at all? Perhaps they could have made the gem into a little legendary colored hero power instead. I agree it's strange as is but not sure of other options.

Care....

Just remember the good times!

I noticed that too, they probably just didn't care about this little design flaw. I would use your version tho :p
The one you made looks substantially worse. I'm not seeing what the problem is here. Go worry about something else.
Devil is in the details. Blizzard is known for amazing graphics and this crystal is definitively not nice

Looks pretty fugly, but what has been seen cannot be unseen.

It is wierd both ways but I like the red one. Jokes aside. I hope they change it as it is triggering me.

I do not see why many people concentrate on alternative design being worst than the original...The point is: the original sucks. Dot.
