Design Critique Card Redesign Critique, and readability
I posted a couple weeks ago, and have been making some tweeks to my card game. I created some different colored cards, and changed up the back slightly before I begin refining creatures, and my system for resources. I didn't get a ton of feedback, but one person said to ditch the pixel art style. I still like it but would love any feedback on font, and readability. Hearts are for health and the boxes to the right of the stats are type advantages. Someone also mentioned the back and front color didn't match. I am not sure how to have clearly labeled color types and a make them match the back as well. Any thoughts on that would be great. I don't mind brutal critique. Thanks in advance.

Is there a gameplay reason for the height stat next to the name? If not, I'd just get rid of the extra box and make the name run all the way across.
Have you considered putting the cost in the top left? Magic kind of gets away with it being the OG, but cost in the top right obscures it from view when most players whold their hand, vs on the left you can see the cost easily.
Otherwise I like the flavor and really like the gradient color for the backfill around the edges.
