Card Thumbnails block Frames

Hello folks, Continuing my Block Framing Practice. This is Card Thumbnails options,
horizontal v/s vertical cards.
.
Vertical Card Thumbnails takes advantage of full-screen device and gives a trendy look when used.
.
.
Horizontal Cards, on the other hand, are the most usable and easily recognisable form of UI.
.
.
The tradeoff between trendy approach and usability should be made according to the target audience.
.
Let me know what do you think. All valuable inputs are welcomed.
