After reading up on the Xtreme Philosopher thread, I got the sudden urge to make a statcard for it. It's my first one, and I used it making GIMP, so it may not be beautiful. But at least it's something.

I got the picture off of here.

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to put the link into a word. Any help would be appreciated.

That's quite a pessimistic philosopher. I suggest that if the philosopher wins the roll, the target understands his point of view and joins the philosopher's army. If the target wins, he gets mad at talky-man and must attack him in his next turn.

Well the Xtreme Philosopher and the Philosopher King can be different units.
Edit: Added colored background. If it still looks grey, hit refresh
Edit 2: Ok, here's version 3, now 30% shinier!

Why does nobody colour the card?

well I usually do, but I couldn't find a color that looked good with that image other than the default blue. But why use default blue?

I didn't know you could color the card...

I'd have used the red from his shirt and epaulettes. The blue blends too much with the background and cape.

I tried that red first but it really didn't look so good. Also I already have at least one stat card with a red background so I wanted this one to be unique

Try gold if you can or if you haven't already

I did actually try gold but it came out looking really yellowy. maybe if I add an effect...

It's a bit yellow as you say but better than the blue as Blitzen pointed out. Is there a Silver or is that just grey?

haha, so you want me to go from gray to blue to gold to gray?
Nah, I think I'm going to leave it like this because I'm too lazy to change it again. Silver would be a cool border for the next one, though.

Haha, sorry. I had to try. Still it looks fine and I like the stats. I'd like to see stats for the Philosophers Arch Nemesis. That could be fun too.
