The game previews are manually rendered to PNG files, that are just
resized and painted in at runtime. I would imagine rendering them
dynamically would be very, very expensive and have a significant
impact on start up time.

Of course, we could regenerate the previews with the new Egyptian card
deck. I'm not entirely convinced that's a good idea, though. I think
the high contrast and clutter free nature of the Oxygen deck helps
keep things clearer when scaled down to this size. I just tried it out
with the new deck, and I definitely think clarity suffered.
