What is a reasonable amount of money to pay for commissions intended to be used on game cards? example pokemon, yugioh, etc. style cards, nothing super detailed but looks nice enough on trading cards using a 300 x 250px canvas (landscape)?

Id say 70 per filler cards, 150 per the good cards, that ill do
I always loved the idea of drawing TCG cards so I might charge less if presented with the job, like pizza money tier if the ideas are fun

i think i read mtg pays around $1000 per illustration, but it’s all relative. the fact that it’s a card shouldn’t really determine the price

assuming it’s a literallywho game, probably $300 per card, more if you’re expected to actually design the thing from scratch
it should be more in theory, but good luck finding someone with the cash to pay for all of it
actual tcg companies have their own rates, I think it’s generally ~$750-1000, but the top cards get paid out the ass, too bad you have to be connected as fuck to get the job

yes you need, look how the eye in the front comes forward while the tail in the back gets smaller the further away it is, or how the pseudo spheres that are the eyes on it's body rotate accordingly to the rotation of the surface they are in, there is and understanding of perpective and shit on that are, it just rushed.
The reason why most early Yu-gi-oh card art is so shit is because Konami wanted to release the card game of the popular anime as soon as posible, so the made Kazuki Takahashi rush all the cards needed to make a whole set, thing they could get away with because standards for card art 20 years ago weren't as high as today.
But nowadays even if you want to do horror Lovecraftian monstrosities you will have to do better than that

I don’t know how many cards are usually in a deck or however these work, but doing 300-1000 hours of work for “pizza money” sounds fucking retarded

Wrong.
Takahashi did only design and draw the monsters you see in the manga.
Every other og cards was done by either freelancers or company artists.

Even then, the old cards, even if they looks like shit, are cool.
Compare that to the modern cards which are overdesigned, 3D models with a filter slapped on it.
