Option to turn off all alternate art

Can we get an option to turn off all alternate art? It's really difficult to read some cards or even know what some cards are if you're not familiar with every art style.

It reminds me of MTG Dryad Arbor Land Style card art and the controversy it caused in a tournament when a player put the creature near the lands and it appeared to be a land.

Using card art for an advantage should not be possible and it doesn't change the game to have an option to just have no alternate card art as an option.

Also, my opponent will still see all the extra art they want because the effect will be client side.

    I think the difficulty to read cards is more about game design than the alt arts (tho I admit some are indeed just harder to read).

    But even regular art card text it's not that easy to read… what I would prefer was that the cards were larger and by overing/clicking enlarge even more and possibly add some kind of effect to popup the text to make it more readable.

    I understand what is your point, but the option to completely disable the full/alt arts would defeat the purpose to have them for many people… if only they could see the cards it's kind of meh… people like to show what they got.
