This intrigues me send me a link too, actually why not just get the maker of this thread add a link to the main post?

This is for Photoshop users only.

1) Select the layer you want to put the border on

2) Go to Layer up at the top of the screen

3) choose Layer Style > Outer Glow

Structure

4) Choose Blend Mode: Screen

5) Skip Noise, beneath that, select the bubble to the right

6) Click the box next to the bubble

7) choose the black to white preset selection

8) move the white marker under the shaded box it shows as far left as possible, so the whole thing is white. Click OK

Elements

9) Skip Technique for now

10) Spread should be 0%

11) Size can vary between 1 or 2, whichever looks better.

12) Go back and pick Precise or Soft for Technique, whichever looks better for the pic, as some will look better in different ways. Click OK.

You now have a clean white boarder around your card image.

What Font's are used for each text? Like Name, characteristic line, effect, turn counters and stats? Oh and flavor text of course?

For the name and numbers, I've found that Arno Pro semibold works quite well.
