Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

That's awesome, so much so that I feel kinda bad telling you that Krasis is spelled with a 'k'.

Dang, there had to be something. On the bright side, I'm certain my friends have no idea how to spell Krasis either!

Or that there's a Nickname frame intended for this exact purpose.

I tried the Godzilla nickname frame but there was a reason I didn't use it. Maybe it was the text box transparency or that changing it messed with the frame in some other way. Also, as @Humpty_Dumpty pointed out, I did alter type lines, types of tokens produced and other slight alterations like removing Planeswalker dice text etc.

In the end two of my friends read the cards and still asked where the backside was, as apparently not everyone knows all the names of cards by heart .

I'm reasonably happy with the layout for now but I might change it, if I get back to cubing more.

Which I honestly like less than this solution, on the assumption you don't have transforming cards in your cube. I think this is easier to read and less obtrusive, but for the baggage.

I've been thinking about the best way to go about this sort of thing recently (don't have any conclusions yet)

Like I tokenshift a ton of cards, right? It sucks if you actually provide tokens and one card makes 1/1 soldiers, one makes 1/1 humans, and one makes 1/1 human soldiers and there's a reason to care, like human tribal or declaration in stone.

Recently we've joined up with some people from the Toronto cubing discord, so there's been a lot of new blood in my recent drafts, and one person commented that they got through it, but they would have been less confused if I just added the wandering emperor instead of my custom one which makes knights with no other changes.

People know (even tangentially) a lot more magic cards than they might think, and you are going to lose some people by not calling sharp eyed rookie by its original cringe name, wording change or not.
