(1/4) The Concoction archetype was one of the most complex single deck archetypes that we've done in a while, but we had a blast designing and playing it. #BehindTheCards https://t.co/xXVU1JBpOy

      (2/4) There are 5 different base Concoctions, and 25 potential Mixed Concoctions, so we knew being able to distinguish them in your hand would be important. To help with that, we designed 5 base potions that differed in color, texture, shape, theme, etc.

        (3/4) For the 25 different Mixed Concoctions, we kept a consistent bottle shape, but let the two colors swirl within the bottle, and spill out as glows on either side, reinforcing which effects it has.

          (4/4) Finally, we made sure there was an element in the background on the left edge of the art that showed the two colors, so that you can tell what it is at a glance when you've got a bunch of cards in your hand and are only able to see the left edge of them all at once.
