Any chance to increase card name lenght to 25?
After the midwinter update the decision to bring back full character names was a great and needed change. However the maximum length of a name was decided to cut down to I believe 20, which limits some card names and forced them to be changed to daft ones.
Examples (should be / was -> is currently):
Margarita Laux-Antille (22 chars) -> Margarita of Aretuza
Ronvid of Small Marsh (21 chars) -> Ronvid the Incessant
Yennefer of Vengerberg (22 chars) -> Yennefer
Champion of Champions (21 chars) -> Champion of Hov
Drummond Shieldmaiden (21 chars) -> Drummond Shieldmaid
Some not so lore-tied (I think):
Dol Blathanna Marksman (22 chars) -> Dol Blathanna Bowman
Dol Blathanna Trapper (21 chars) -> Dol Blathanna Bomber
Mahakaman Pyrotechnician (24 chars) -> Pyrotechnician
Blue Mountain Commando (22 chars) -> Blue Mountain Elite
Tuirseach Beastmaster (21 chars) -> Tuirseach Bearmaster
Stammelfords Tremors (21 chars) -> Stammelfords Tremor
and of course
Shupe's Bizarre Adventure (25 chars) -> Shupe's Day Off
I think increasing name length to maximum of 25 (or heck, even 22) would negate most of the problems in terms of card names, whereas it being 20 it is just a few chars short.
It's funny how to me this brings a major headache when I see a card suffering from a name it shouldn't have just because the name it should be is a few characters too long.
These are just from the top of my head, be sure to let me know what I missed.
