Watching the PT KTK, as an exclusively online player I had an idea.

Right now in v4 we don't see the library or the top of the deck/back of the cards often, which could be changed if WotC wanted.

I think it would be cool if we could get "sleeves" on mtgo with stuff like the clan designs or cool card art, like sleeves that get printed in paper. It wouldn't be a super huge change but it would add a nice touch of polish to the game and give WotC something else to give out for tournaments/releases/prereleases other than player avatars.

I would love to have some Jeskai clan cardbacks while playing online.

That would be cool.

Hearthstone does something similar and it's a pretty decent feature. Would like to see it in MTGO.

At the moment the library isn't displayed on screen, right? And face down cards have the morph token over them.

Do you really want to add a part of the screen just for showing "sleeve" art? That's what avatars are for, no?

Seems like just a waste of screen space. The space that's available is already not being used well.

we have a lot of cards and mechanics that reveal the top card of the library, and without dedicated space to show the library you get an obnoxiously large part of the screen that gets taken up by it already.

I'd like to get dedicated screen space for the library. (wasn't it show in v3?)

At the moment you get a part of the screen which is as large as necessary taken up by it, and no space taken up when it isn't necessary.

It's win-win. As much space as needed at all times.

One of the few improvements in V4 is that space is devoted to the stack only when something's going on there. This is just like that.

Yeah it would be great if wizards did that. However I don't think the company is serious enough to upgrade their mtgo software to handle that.

As much as I would love some cool sleeve options, there are literally dozens of things that need to be done for MTGO before we get into cosmetic upgrades.

I've been selling MtGO digital sleeves for years: https://twitter.com/wrongwaygoback/status/124768557383950336
