This is a refactored version of my previous attempt. Adds my second favorite QoL feature from other MTG implementations (DOTP, Magic Arena, etc.) - a subtle floating animation for flying creatures. The option is toggled off by default. Added a descriptive toggle in the in-game Preferences menu (towards the bottom of the "Graphics Options" section) to allow users to activate this new functionality as desired. Not only makes parsing game-states with many creatures easier, it looks cool too!

Please let me know if this attempt looks better - thanks!

I tested this out and the floating animation seemed to cause distortion on the card image and text of the flyer, in a way I thought was a bit distracting.

Not sure if this bothers anyone else. I guess one answer is you can always turn it off if you don't like it.

Hmm..I don't get any distortion on my end - it's crystal clear. Maybe due to monitor refresh rate? Mine is set to 165 Hz. Is yours different? The animation plays at 20 FPS, so if others are getting distortion or tearing I could increase it. Just trying to keep resource usage as low as possible. Maybe I went too low.
