Super Mario Card ideas

[Kosheh]

But the Bowser logo is literally always red, or black on red.



So you gotta assume that that's the color that Bowser associates with himself ... and that Nintendo associates with him.

oh



is



that



so???

I see a lot of greens and oranges - even yellow associated with Bowser. Y'know, the colors that actually exist on the character.

There's the red-on-black Bowser logo, but there's also the red-on-white associated with Mario's insignia on his cap. With the same argument, you could easily suggest "white" for the protagonists and "black" for the antagonists - the general balance of good and evil. But then you also have the neutral characters of the series like Wario, his brother Waluigi, Donkey Kong, etc. Which only kinda complicates this. :/

Also, I think the solid color around the edge serves another purpose than just making the cards look good in IRL card games. It also makes it difficult to tell what kinds of cards are located where in your deck when viewing the deck from the side or an angle. Have you ever looked at the side of a deck of cards that do not have uniform borders, and notice that all the different colors are visible on the edge? I think it's probably a safety measure to keep people from cutting the deck in their favor.

Actually, this is probably the best argument for keeping one solid color among the entire deck - not changing them up for character alliances, card types or even rarities or expansions. It'd too easily give away what your next draw is going to be to your opponent. Keeping a consistent colored border amongst the cards (or heck, any border) gives less information to either player what you're playing.

Though, to be fair I think usually when you're drawing cards, the deck points downward - therefore you're only going to see the BACK of the card half the time. 





idk you might wanna poll some TCG playing friends and see what works best in terms of border colors??? White, black or yellow would work fine IMO
