I and all players I play with still use Abandon for "Emergency blockage Card", because no one dares to spell it out, EBC is too unfamiliar to most and E-Blockage too risky to be mistaken for just Blockage.
And now Visuals! I liked that I could just see the card and play them without having to make sure what they are called! Simplicity is primacy for me as well! Although will get used to them after few games, no problem. Just still would prefer the old-look, maybe there is a market for uservoice to have setting option to switch back!?
And thirdly, yeah modern warfare is something I would stay away. Warlight ain´t match for AtWar and should appeal to other theme. I like the visuals, but would gladly welcome some stone-age humour or 1800 parody of warfare :)
In the end, I do not really see how 3-week-update to add Card Visuals improves the game at all? They look nice and thats all, maybe useful for DeviantART. And I doubt it draws in new people as well? Bad to see that as "immediate roadmap" over dozen essential updates community yearns for!
The fact that these cards are ugly according to some people here, really this is not important at all.
The most important thing is that Fizzer keeps making minor changes (like renaming cards such as the very useful "emergency blockade card"...), and does not give a damn about Uservoice's suggestions, ignoring suggestions having thousands or hundreds of votes which have been ignored for some during 4 years. Again this is imo the main problem.
I don't know why he's doing this though, Warlight is losing it's charm and simplicity.
Btw, the reason the cards look so disjointed is because the card border colours have also been switched around. I don't know why, this makes no sense to me, but your brains are unfortunatly going to feel woozy looking at them for a long long time...
EDIT: For an example, look at the delay and priority colours.
I have to agree here that the new cards are less distinct than the old ones. Don't get me wrong, I like the art of these but not on the cards. Warlight was always a game where you could hop in very quickly, just do your turn and leave again. Even if you were a little distracted. Now I forsee a lot of unintentionally played cards just because people mix them up in a hurry.
As mentioned earlier, an option to choose between the different art styles would be great.
There are a lot of good improvements that could be made to WarLight, from a chat system to a better management of clans, that i don't really know why Fizzer is making useless changes that make the game worse instead of better, like these cards.
There is a uservoice forum and it's pretty clear which are the most requested features
Please stop making the game worse with these unneeded updates
Ugh, no, I took turns in some more games with those new cards and I won't get used to them. They just don't at all fit here. Sorry, but that was useless update.

That is definatelly the most astounding issue here. Thanks for writing it down.
Are the best one imo. While I liked the old simplistic cards I think as long as there is an option for the old ones there is nothing wrong with using these new ones. It's odd thought some of the art is nice and on some it's very ugly. How much do you think they cost to commission?
Some of them are kind of funny, but mostly stupid. The old cards were nice and simple, these new ones are so overdone it looks like the game is trying too hard.
