Yep, the limit of 672x966 are good.

No, it is not good. The ratio width/height of a Magic card is 1:1.4 [theoretical exactly 1:sqrt(2)]. Therefore the dimension of the HQ scan have to be in this case 672x941.
Our currently HQ dimensions of 480x640 is wrong too. It should be 480x672.
A reason for this error is the scanner movement in y-direction. Most older scanner works not exactly in this direction and produces a little inaccuracy. So the decision to use 480x640 pixel for HQ scans eventually based on such a scanner inaccuracy.
I think, the dimension of a Magic card scan should be 500x700 or 600x840 pixel and this includes the complete(!) border. Regarding the current 1920x1200 resolution of a LCD-Monitor, these are very suitable dimensions. More is definitely not recommended because the overall quality of such a big scan will be lower (the print pattern will become more visible and the 'natural sharpness' will decrease).
