Here's a problem with the choose a card interface, while picking your deck.

You go over a card and it shows you in the bottom right what it does. If it affects something (ie corpse changes into a zombie) the zombie word is highlighted. This is good.

but if the card you are looking at is in the middle of the column, you have to finesse your way around two or three cards to get over to the helpful 'zombie' link... most of the time i have to go back to the card i want, and flick my mouse over numerous amounts of times in order for the card not to change. This is bad

Anyone else find this annoying?

ps, i put it here and not the bug forum cause it might just be me who is having troubles with this...

It can be kind of annoying. The way I get around it is I click the plus sign to add it to my deck, I go to the deck side mouse over it there, then I can move my mouse straight down to the card without worry of anything getting in the way.

The other way you can get around it is to type in the name of the card you're looking at in the search box. That way only that card is displayed so no other cards will get in the way.

I personally think my way is easier though. :)

I do the same thing as Zwidar, adding the card to the deck, and then checking out the abilities.

In a game it can be hard to check what a card does. Sometimes I find myself going back to the deckbuilder to do that, because in games it almost always shows terrain type in the box instead of the card you wish to examine. It would be nice with a button that when pressed will lock the card that is shown in th box.

Well in the game you can just right click the thing you are interested in and the info will come up right there. Or if you mouse down to the big card the card should become the last non-terrain thing you were over.

It is annoying in the deck builder. Any ideas how to handle this? Obviously you want the card details to change most of the time as you are mousing around.

The only thing i can think up is to leave a bit more room between cards. It seems the easiest way.
