Never having played a game in my life that I "stole", I'm wondering, are there really any people out there that would go to ALL the trouble to copy/paste/download/print/cut/slevee the cards a game like this? Even if the cards were displayed in perfect color/text on their site?
Seems it's $250 worth of time/effort/materials at least for a $60 game. Then there's all the other bits they need to boot . . .
Not sure why they guard the cards pictures so carefully.

Me either, but is sure is important to them.
People on their site were saying there needed to be a reason to go to their site instead of here or Facebook. They were asking for spoilers that could only be found on the official site so that people had a reason to go there and talk. Making the spoilers harder to copy makes a lot of sense if that is your goal because otherwise people would just put them up elsewhere which defeats the entire point of trying to get people to the site. Which is exactly what was attempted.
This isn't about being worried if people are going to copy the pics, especially considering they are allowing Cardgamedb to have every card in their database.
This isn't paranoia here people, just catering to their fans.
I mentioned exactly that above. Me personally, I am always annoyed by their site. I tried to regularly go there but for me it always loads slow. And posting is a pain as well as it occasionally asks for authentication. Earlier onit asked for the authentication with every post, so, rather than deal with it, I just stopped going/posting there.
