Introduction

Legends of Runeterra is one of the best digital card games of all time. One of the game's main goals, when it was released, was to address some other issues that other card games in the market had, such as predatory economies, too much RNG, and outdated competitive circuits.

We can say nowadays Runeterra has the best economy system out of all the card games, and is the most "free to play" game of all of them, with a consolidated competitive scene. However, there is one area in which Runeterra, out of all card games, is severely disappointing: the game's premium card style content.

Let's discuss what are our premium content options in the game, and suggest a few ways we can upgrade it.

Prismatic Cards

upgrade suggestions to the game's premium content, not necessarily animated - that could be great alternatives without inflating the game's memory, and also make everything quite accessible to everyone.

"Frame Break)

This "Frame Break" Zoe was created by Jorge/Shadowbox Artis, or @jorge_junjun on Twitter.

This Zoe card created by the artist @jorge_junjun was the inspiration behind this article - obviously this art piece isn't a card and instead is a type of box, but I think it would look pretty cool in Runeterra. The best example we have of that are Marvel Snap's "Frame Break" cards.

Hearthstone itself has its own "Frame Break" version with diamond cards.

"Frame Break" variants could work independently of prismatic styles, and be an entirely different type of premium rarity. Cards could have a "Frame Break" style and "Prismatic" style at the same time, or only one or the other. Check out this Ahri "Frame Break" piece created by the artist @78Undeadplayer:

"Star Foil" and Other "Foil" Variations

In other card games, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, for instance, we have "Foil" variations, such as "Star Foil". Runeterra's prismatic cards are their own version of foils, so, why not create other versions of this type of premium style?

Marvel Snap has different Foil animations for its cards: they can have a foil finish or prism finish, for instance.

"Ink" Styles and Monochromatic Variations

Premium variations that completely alter the card's color to monochromatic shades, like Marvel Snap's Ink variants, seem easy to create, and could be very successful in Runeterra.

Pokémon's Golden Rare cards are also beautiful, and seem simple to create. Certainly, Runeterra cards would look gorgeous with this Golden touch!
