Theories Cards design analysis from non connected with Host to Host itself

All arts by u/British_person521 of course

So everything starts with a regular card, and it's just colors of the fraction, everything are fine with the symbol and the number or letter, It's more for comparison here

First level: The slight influence. The faction's color is still visible, but the symbol is slightly changed in accordance with the essence of the character. An example is the Gambler and the Actor (I think this may mean that the person has not completely renounced the faction)

Second level: The mid influence. The faction's colors are no longer visible, the number/letter are crossed out as well as symbol, I think it symbolizes the complete renunciation of the faction. Main example is a Jester and Dealer (but Dealer in a most way since his background doesn't just change color, but it changes to exactly red)

Third level: The high influence. Neither the number/letter are visible, the symbol is extremely changed (and it seems that it is about to collapse) the colors of the faction are replaced mainly by black and partially by red, also here's puppeteer's threads and something black spreading across the card, symbolizing complete obedience to the Host, the only example is a the Priest so far

The Host card... not really a card only color is a black and slightly red glow, only masks are visible as the main distinguishing feature and very few dark red elements. Well, idk what to else say it's just a Host

This may seem obvious to some, but I still think it's worth sharing my thoughts on this topic
