FYI this is a rough sketch of what the game will probably look like in a month or two (only with better textures, 3d effects, translucent popup screens, etc)

The video shows the game in its current 2d state

FYI, the person speaking is the voice of Leonardo from TMNT and Dean Venture from the venture brothers.

I'll be honest. I think it is pretty bad.

All in all this Video feels very utilitarian; boring even. There's no emotion in it, as the voice actor is just flatly throwing some sentences at you. Then there's nothing to make me interested in the game. It fails at conveying the game itself. What does it bring to the table? What makes it unique? The few sentences that are in the Video make it sound exactly like MTG. In my opinion the music also fails to match the atmosphere you want to convey with the art of the game. Shouldn't it be more, I don't know -epic-; getting you pumped to play it? (Although, admittedly I am not really sure what music would fit the generic "animu" art that is used for this game.)

Compare it to this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIBMQTxmcG0

Designers talking somewhat passionate about the game, why you want to play it, some hints of how to play it, and what differentiates it from other card games.

Also, why do a Trailer now, when the game will look MUCH better in a while?

The voice could be louder and with more emotion and certain points for an exclamatory effect. Particularly the combat scenes don't seem enticing.

Meh.

That 3d render looks pretty good though.
