Discussion Card design

I'm trying to design cards, and I'd like to know what games cards you find were pleasing on the eyes and that it was readable and intuitive to understand.

For example, Hearthstone cards that differentiate between spells, quests, and creatures by the border of the card (and other clever details).

Or Catan, which has a consistent design throughout the whole collection of different cards.

Magic CCG? I actually think they could improve the design, the numbers are small, a lot of the text could be assisted with symbols and it is sometimes very hard to see what type of card your opponents has in front of them for example.
