Words can not express my disappointment

Y'all weebs are always so weird when you see a girl drawn with anything more than a receding chin lol

This is like people "transvestigating" literally every woman with a prominent chin that isn't super pointed. She looks perfectly fine for a teenage girl.

I wasn't trying to be aggressive about it, I just thought poking fun at it is amusing, like my first thought was the fateful "an ilm taller and twice as rugged" line and started giggling, sometimes a statement is just a shallow riff.

what did you really expect from wotc.

Idk if l will buy this. I can't see its potential in cedh

I’ve seen better art by casual fans.

The art style matters because you want the viewer of the thing to be able to tell if it's a boy or a girl or not. Alisaie's face in that image looks more like it should have been used for Alphinaud rather than his sister.

A great example is how in XIV, from a distance both the twins looks completely identical, but if you get up close. You can point out subtle, but obvious differences in their appearances.

Alisaie in game has more prominent lips, eyelashes and softer eye shape compared to her brother, who has more muted features in the same parts to show which is a boy and which one is a girl.

All this WoTC card makes me think of is that one line in Endwalker where Estinien mistakes Alisaie for Alphinaud and thinks how "he" became more rugged. xD

wait was this whole thing about how she looks?
I've never played the card game but I thought it had to do with that maybe the card wasn't that good or what people wanted

Oh I think the card looks pretty good, I do think her face is more angular than normal, but that's just a somewhat different art style expressing itself, and it was an easy think to heckle, so I took the shot, but I didn't mean anything by it, then some tools who make "culture war" their entire personality thought I was serious, I suppose I should know better than make a joke for the sake of the joke in the internet.

Yeah I got that your post was a joke but I didn't know if that's why the thread was created
I don't know enough about the card game to really weigh in on it but I saw "commander" and assumed the card was bad or something

It should also be noted that the MtG card artstyle is wildly inconsistent. You have gorgeous art made by someone like Anna Podedworna and on the other you have anime looking cards that wouldn't be out of place in Yugioh.
