Ok, so I know I'm fairly new to the scene, but I think I can add some suggestions:
1) Cards need to say what type they are. For instance, Time Lord should say it's a "Mage" so people would know it adds to the Mage Counter. My suggestion would be to look at Magic The Gathering (MTG)'s layout. It has the card name up top, the picture, the type of card it is, then the effects. That's how this should be arranged for simplicity.
2) "Swift" and "Quick" cards should be categorized or distinguished also. Maybe they could have a different card border or something.
3) The same goes for "rebirth," "durable," and "flare" cards. I was very surprised when the pheonix raped my face and my hand was carrying 3 new cards.
My 2 cents.
