Great work, this is very well suited to the DS, and a port that I never would have expected.

Suggestions - the one thing that could really make this game more enjoyable is the card art - right now the cards are necessarily small in order to fit on the bottom screen's playing area, but I would love to be able to see a zoomed, high-res version of each card as I'm selecting them - or, perhaps even better, show the zoomed cards on the top screen when attacks take place, with the numbers of the battle scrolling between the two cards.

I realize that the higher res. artwork could increase the filesize significantly, but I don't see that as much of a problem.

here's hoping :)

Or, perhaps you should move the playing field to the top screen, so that the cards can be better shown in your hand on the bottom. Once you pick a card, the screen could swap for you to place it on a square. Just an idea -- mainly I wish the screen space could be better used in general, but there are many ways to do so.
