There's a shiny new FAQ (on the Help tab), which can't have been there too long because it contains this question and answer:
What does a coloured border or background mean?
Bronze means something a little special - perhaps part of a continuing story.
Silver means something quite special, like an Ambition or Seasonal content.
Gold means something exceptional, often a once-only story. Pay attention.
Purple means a card that only appears occasionally.
Red on a card-border means it will take effect as soon as you click it.
Black is not to be spoken of.
I have literally never seen silver, purple, or black borders. I'm guessing no-one else playing here has, either, because I'd expect y'all to mention it. So, keep an eye out, everyone.

I wish the difference between the gold and bronze were more pronounced. Unless you have the two next to eachother, they are hard to differentiate.

I understand the reasoning under the gold and bronze colours, but for the sake of clearance, wouldn't it be easier to call the gold-bordered cards simply yellow? I think it would be clearer this way, as they lack that metal-like shine that bronze cards have.

Yeah, that's what I meant--unless they're next to eachother, I would call what they're calling "bronze" gold, and call what they're calling "gold" yellow.

I agree that the gold and bronze cards are both what I would call "yellow" (though the bronze is closer to what I would call gold, heh)

No, they're free if you use them at 0 (but they set your timer back to 9:59). As far as I'm aware it's a known bug that is more or less treated as a feature.

Agreed - the new setup is rather pretty!
