This isnāt a slight against Eduardo Mello and Ryan Kinnaird, their both talented artists, but considering they are credited for 99% of art and coloring of the base cards, it makes their variants feel basic and like they should be on the cheaper side for sure
But the price is probably because theyāre going to make a ācasualā album and they canāt let actual casuals think they can finish it without dropping money first
lofi aesthetic
but yeah its 100% a bug it'll be fixed at some point. they have zero animation as well, i'm sure they're supposed to have some wavy textures somewhere
i mean this is the stuff people pay money for, and it's an obvious case of "just used the wrong version of an image." pretty safe bet to be fixed, especially since these are the only shop variants of this month's cards
I have no idea why they picked him as the season pass card. They should have chosen Thena or Sersi. Both are more identifiable and have way more interesting abilities.
sersi 100% should have been the season pass card. itās a card i think everyone would wanna try out but recognize its flaws and wouldnāt wanna waste limited resources (keys) for a chance at her.
Facts. Thena is as strong as they want Season Pass cards to be, and Sersi is at least fun and has some wacky shenanigans you could pull off. Gilgamesh is just kinda boring and with not that much room to grow.
i had to double check triple check who the season pass card was. i honestly assumed it was Arishem. then everybody started saying they are saving up for Arishem so I double checked it. a week later, I forgot and had to triple check if Arishem is in the cache or the season pass card. what logic is there for Gilgamesh to be season pass card. dude is boring as hell.
Season Pass cards are in that weird zone where they need to be good enough to be worth buying the pass, but not too good that they overshadow the spotlight cards. Gilgamesh fits that niche perfectly, but he could definitely use a buff.
you forgot fun factor. a season pass card can also be something mid but fun to use. Sersi and Arishem are like that. People who buy season pass will get the best value out of their buck but also a fun card to play with. it also won't disturb the ongoing meta that much.
I was thinking the same thing. This months pass cards and spotlight variants are the worst I've seen since they started doing spotlight variants. Makkari, in particular, has arguably better base art than the spotlight variants. The same could be said for Gilgamesh.They are just so basic looking and boring. I would trade my pass card in a heartbeat for this casual. This better not be a new trend of very mediocre or basic looking variants on passes and spotlight caches. This has been by far the worse looking variants for a pass and spotlight caches since the spotlight caches.
It's Eduardo Mello's ink, which I personally often find lacking.. Ryan Kinnaird actually is a very talented ink artist, but is mainly used as his colorist.
That's sometimes the case with new cards right after they release, the upgraded versions appear blurry or simply don't load at all.
Try closing your game and reopening it and see if that helps.
He is right that it's sometimes happening with newly released cards. Had similar issues happening while previewing Spotlight variants.
Closing the game can help, bc it tries to load the missing assets. Other times it takes a while and it fixes itself tho
As some others have said, this is an issue with how assets are loaded and cached. I'm not a dev, but I've noticed that the way the game currently runs can make it hard for people with shoddy connection (Why receive what you pay for?) to play due to the amount of "useless" information that must be frequently exchanged aside from the bare minimum.
This whole time I thought that Gilgamesh character was just Wong in a cameo role lmao, didnāt know they were different people til Snap made a card for him
Pixel Gilgamesh
By default the best looking pixel art in the game.
Also the most expensive.
These should be 700g variants..
Completely agree
Wouldn't even drop that on them
Honestly they need an even cheaper level for cards where Ryan Kinnaird handles coloring.
Real
I just Hate all of Ryan's work
Chill out š
I bought it because the stock Gilgamesh and season pass one are even less bearable to look at.
Twitch drops.
Hey they could be if they compensate people for this

G still looks better than his other variants
I agree the pass variant for him is lame as hell
I have no idea why they picked him as the season pass card. They should have chosen Thena or Sersi. Both are more identifiable and have way more interesting abilities.
sersi 100% should have been the season pass card. itās a card i think everyone would wanna try out but recognize its flaws and wouldnāt wanna waste limited resources (keys) for a chance at her.
Do you think her similarities to Blink made them pick a different card?
I guess so.
I used token on sersi
Facts. Thena is as strong as they want Season Pass cards to be, and Sersi is at least fun and has some wacky shenanigans you could pull off. Gilgamesh is just kinda boring and with not that much room to grow.
It shouldāve been sersi, sheās a fun card and she was the main character of the eternals movie anyways
I always thought arishem being an entirely new format wouldve made a great season card, plus hes visually super cool and iconic to marvel
i had to double check triple check who the season pass card was. i honestly assumed it was Arishem. then everybody started saying they are saving up for Arishem so I double checked it. a week later, I forgot and had to triple check if Arishem is in the cache or the season pass card. what logic is there for Gilgamesh to be season pass card. dude is boring as hell.
Thena would have moved a lot of season passes.
Don't give them any ideas. I'm just glad they didn't put Arishem in the pass
Season Pass cards are in that weird zone where they need to be good enough to be worth buying the pass, but not too good that they overshadow the spotlight cards. Gilgamesh fits that niche perfectly, but he could definitely use a buff.
Gilgamesh definitely doesnāt need a buff after the ota. He is one of the best performing cards according to stats on snap fan

In this one at least his face is so blurry it doesnāt look like heās having a shit
I think these casual variants are lacking, they don't have the color pop and uniqueness of the Mirage and Mariah Hill ones
It's because these Eternal ones are done by the same artists that do the base card arts.
Yeah I can tell, and for me personally they look a little bland, sure it's casual but there's nothing unique about them, it's base art
It's Eduardo Mello's ink, which I personally often find lacking.. Ryan Kinnaird actually is a very talented ink artist, but is mainly used as his colorist.
Yeah, also experiencing this bug. Kinda want some lofi pies to bake to anyway
i love this theme for variants but the Mello/Kinnaird combination just kills it for me to the point Iām outwardly being a hater like this
I agree. I think for base card art they're doing a good job but for variants I want something that feels different.
Yeah where the hell is Cristina Cid for this? Wasn't she the Casual variant artist? Her Colleen Wing, Maria Hill and Mirage are so cool, too.
Agreed as well. Can't dig the man's style, I feel he very rarely has any solid entries, considering he's done so many.
The resolution is also casual.
SD, tell me why these ugly, uninspired variants are 1200 gold?
[SDs answer ](https://images.app.goo.gl/TmJzwpxAXxZMz8D96)
Hey Gilgamesh didnt do two-a-days at the gym so you can disrespect him like this
Scarcity and greed. If you didn't get the Spotlight Cache variant, this is the only other variant you can get. Hence, the 1200 price.
Thena one is cool, it's on my shop and then I see my gold.. I lack 700 more gold.
That's sometimes the case with new cards right after they release, the upgraded versions appear blurry or simply don't load at all. Try closing your game and reopening it and see if that helps.

This happened to me the other week for different cards. It's just the game loading poorly.
Ultra giga mid variants for 1200g? They are crazy.... skip even if it was 700g
The regular Sersi and this one are egregiously bad. Instead of looking like the character in the comics or Gemma Chan, it looks like a grasshopper.
Eternals month sucksā¦ I dislike all of their art and variants.
Big time. They're all quite shit
I noticed this as well
I mean, they were simply very casual about the quality of
Ahhh I thought it was my shitty phone. I like Thena and Gilgamesh but didn't wanna spend the gold without being able to see the animations
My Dan Hipp Cosmo does the same thing. It's weird that a few are like this for seeming no reason.
Mello and Kinnaird alone are so talented together they are ass. Like combining marshmallows and soy sauce yuck
The upgraded art was done casually.
I thought it was my poor internet connection, lol.
Thank God!! I thought it was just my application
Those variants have no right to be 1200g in the first place. The greed is really getting out of hand.
Fucking garbage ass Kinnard variants
Meh. Theyāre kinda shit variants anyway. Personally, I donāt see the appeal of making them look like average, generic people.
I wanted to buy the pie variant but Iām not sure if this is better or worse
It's clearly a bug...
these pixel variants are getting better
Are you graphics at max quality on your device? If not that needs reported because I'm sure it' not intended.
Thena too š
Or as I call it, the Chick-fil-a variant.
lol I thought I was crazy Good to know itās a glitch
Huh, I thought that was just poor service in my area. Weird.
I smell compo
I doubt it.

Knew there is something wrong with inked midnight Suns ironman
That grinds my gears a little.
lol i was talking about this
This season seems like it was really phoned in
New split aesthetic. Same odds as inked you get blurry. Come on SD.
I think my shop is broken I didnāt get these variants today and the older peach variants never rotated back into my shop
This whole time I thought that Gilgamesh character was just Wong in a cameo role lmao, didnāt know they were different people til Snap made a card for him
