Nyth was laughing about this article to me: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/124. In particular, how much better our pics look.

Original:

Ours:

But can we do better? According to the article, we're missing the Swampwalk text "(If defending player controls any swamps this creature is unblockable.)"

I also see that we're not using the proper fonts, and I think we should. Those fonts are here: http://www.mediafire.com/?hj2ohnmjml0.

We also added copyright text, which is not representative either.

And the mana symbols, particularly the two colorless, look grayer than what we're using.

well, there's a few things to discuss: first, the border itself is different, and that's because it's never been a real card, it really looks like the first one, there is no better res available.
I've used a regular card frame with all the colors.
They haven't used the copyright line because there was no place for it at this low resolution :)
And what about the font then ? Why shouldn't we use the font in the original image ?
So you see, nothing is very clear, it's a matter of preference...

The border is cool. All I would change is the font. Also, I just noticed that the card name, type, and credit are further left in the original.
<edit> Of course, I'm nit-picking, the new one looks fantastic, but I'm addressing these small issues in preparation for the new torrent, and because I have nothing better to do. :P
