Hello all, I have been wanting to make my own tokens recently, and had a bit of a brainwave thinking back to the Unfinity stickers-

This pack should let you build your own Goblin Token- take the base image, then rather digitally, or physically (via printing on vinyl sticker paper) overlay the pieces as you see fit- I admit I had great fun drawing and combining all these little bits to see what lil maniac they would create:)- hope its of use for someone.

Pack contains pieces prepped for digital overlay (with opacity) and those prepped for physical overlay, as well as a page ready for printing if desired and a folder of examples.

Cheers

Help with MPC

Did a test order from MPC and the card borders are all cut off, front and back! What did I do wrong?

One of my cards is double sided, which is why I went to use MPC directly instead of MPCFill (don't know how to upload or add custom backs to specific cards w/ them).

Edit: Bleeding edge, gottit! Thanks for the help

Advice on LOTR retro frame

Any advice on which retro frame (not necessarily limited to these 2 examples) works best for some vintage LOTR art?
I basically want to recreate the entire LTR set as if it had come out pre-2000, with vintage art.

Looking for some public input before I make a ton of cards. Also let me know if someone else has already done this exact project.

EDIT: I greatly appreciate everyone’s feedback, I’m glad there was such an interest. Some decisions I’ve made for this set: I’m making both variants (white border 4th edition & black border 7th edition frames) of all cards. I found a workflow and it takes less than 1 minute longer per card to make a second copy. Worth it since some cards just seem to pop in the white border.

I’m sticking with the creature type format “Summon Avatar Legend” etc, but I’m not expanding all of the rules text to be super long format. As old school as that would be, it’s a bit much.

Yes I’ll share a drive folder eventually. I’d love to see others print this.

Biggest struggle is actually art, surprisingly! This set has some ultra specific things. Mithril shirt for example, there is a perfect Ted Nasmith art but the only image on it appears to be a camera photo of a framed print at a 45 degree angle. Feel free to share more niche art/artists from the 80s/90s other than Nasmith, Hildebrandt, McBride, John Howe, Alan Lee.

TL;DR: Deck here, decklist here

Hello, I'm glad to announce that I've completed my Spy x Family deck!

This is my 6th project now and it was the longest deck to build, but the more fun as well.

This time, it is an Aikido deck. And before going farther into this, I have to give a shout-out to the Marchesa Aikido discord server. Yes, this deck isn't Queen Marchesa, but the discord server has resources on all kinds of Aikido decks, where people ask questions about specific cards and give feedback on what works and doesn't for them.

Where the idea came from

Going back on topic, his deck has been brewing around the same time I started planning for the Silksong deck around September last year. At first, I wanted to do a Spy x Family deck but wasn't sure on how to build it.

If I was building every character individually, the commander choice would have been easy: Loid as Lazav, Yor as Etrata, etc, but I was a bit stuck on figuring out a commander that could fit the universe in general. I would have liked to have all 3 main characters as the commander, but that is not really possible apart from some really specific partner commanders with a companion to fulfill this. I don't like having multiple characters on one card as well, so I couldn't do that. The options I ended up with were a single commander with either Loid or Anya, or a partner commander with Loid and Yor. I think these were the best possible options to fit the theme of all 3 main characters, while justifying why the others were in the 99.

Since I had all of these thematic restrictions, I thought about the UB's main themes. The one that resonates the most to me and could fit an EDH deck easier was the Cold War theme. I had to find a way to represent escalation without direct confrontation. Like an arms race, where no one wants to hit you first, in fear of reprisal. And that's where I decided to go Aikido.

The Aikido Theme

I had been aware of Queen Marchesa Aikido decks and I always was interested by the core aspects of the playstyle. Appear non-threatening, avoid unnecessary actions by letting your opponents deal with your other opponents and use their strengths against them when it's time to strike. What I was not fully aware of was all of the potential commanders that could fit this playstyle and the ones that really caught my attention were The Second Doctor and Donna Noble.

Usually, as I have never watched Doctor Who, I wouldn't even look at these 2 commander options as I don't really care about that UB, but with the world of proxy, their gameplay mechanics are all I really care about.

Once I chose the commanders, I built many versions of this deck which I playtested multiple times to make sure it runs well but doesn't get too cutthroat. I had a version at one point with cards like Nils, Agitator Ant and Noble Heritage, but in the end I couldn't justify their inclusion against such fun tools like Delney and Displacer Kitten.

The Frames

So the big question some might have seeing this: the frames, why are they all so green? That specific shade of green is present on every book of Spy x Family and a lot of promo material from the anime, as it is everywhere, it is also everywhere in the deck.

The first card type I started working on were the creatures. My goal was to have the manga volume covers in a MTG card format. So I used the art of each character that is represented on a cover, then I added the page and picture design present on the back of the book to have the card's text as well as a way to show the color of the card. I also used the picture as an excuse to use more art from the manga.

The top part of the card is the same on every card type, I used that big, bold font that's present on every cover to represent the name, and the numbered circle used to identify the volume number as the mana symbols. In the mana symbols, I used some specific logos for each color.

This is where I had to change one of my initial idea, at first, I wanted the SSS symbol for white, the WISE symbol for blue and the GAS symbol for red with the intention to have the Eden symbol for the single green token. The problem here is that GAS has one potential logo in the manga, but this was not present in the same scene in the anime, so I am thinking that the potential logo might not be it. So the alternative I came up with is to switch SSS from order (W) to violence (R), keep WISE as intel (U), switch Eden from traditionalism (G) to altruism (W), and added Berlint as green just because it's the last logo I could think of. Whenever GAS gets a logo, it will have black because they're assassins.

For the land frames, I wanted to evoke the design of a postcard, with the rules text being the back of the postcard and the image frame being the front. So I made a generic looking postcard design around each image and added symbols and color elements to make sure the color of the cards were properly identifiable.

For the artifact frames, I kinda winged it tbh. Had some cool looking vertical art with the talismans, so I started making a vertical frame for them and I ended up using it for all artifacts as I thought it looked really cool and unique. The middle line element is a design element present on some supplemental books of the series in either the light novel or one of the anime/manga bts kind of collection. I forgot.

For the rest of the cards, I kept the bottom postcard as I liked the design for its mix of simplicity and ability to convey all of the game elements properly, I just changed the image frame to a different design which I found in one of the aforementioned supplemental book.

Black and White vs. Colored Art

Now, another one of the big questions after the green backgrounds: why take the effort to double everything with the black and white art? Actually, I haven't watched the anime,—I think I can count on one hand the amount of anime I've watched—but I am up to date with the manga, so I chose to work with black and white art in part because of familiarity and on another part because I prefer the more detailed art of Tatsuya Endo over the art from the anime, which is less detailed, but better made with movement in mind.

The funny thing is that now that I have placed all of the cards in a Google Drive, I think that I prefer the colored land arts, they are still backgrounds from the anime and look really good together. I will be keeping the black and white instants, sorceries, enchantments and tokens for my print though, but I still enjoy that working on this project changed my initial manga art purist mindset.

Flavor Highlights

Now this is my favorite section to talk about, the flavor highlights!

One card I absolutely wanted to keep in the deck, even though I would have removed from the deck without the flavor, is Edgin Larcenous Lutist. First of all this card gives foretell which is literally Bond's power, but what sealed the deal for me was that the universe within version of the card is called Bohn. Cone on, Bond/Bohn, the name is so similar! The foretell token idea with the static background was also something I had in mind from the start.

Something else I really liked that I managed to get working is the Sol Ring art. The art with the close-up of the hands with the ring is a different panel from the art with Loid proposing to Yor and the explosion in the background. I managed to overlay the hands in front of the explosions and I was glad it worked like it did as it is the most iconic "ring" of the series.

Comeuppance was one of the last cards for which I've managed to find an idea for, and I find it to be really flavorful, the B&W art even more so as the event picture is even more deserved.

The Rad counters turning into Sabotage counters was a happy accident, at first I wanted to base it around an event with a mole in the SSS and have a mole counter, but a sabotage counter feels so much better than my original idea and fits the theme of the deck very well.

And last little info from the process, when I was making the deck, volume 17 wasn't announced yet, I wanted to have generous plunderer as Lady Tonitrus with the treasure being the tonitrus bolts but I couldn't find any art that would work, so I gave up and used Chloe for that card at first. When they announced and showed Vol.17, I made that card immediately, it was exactly what I needed to fit the card properly and I was pretty lucky that she was the cover character.

In Conclusion

You can find the 100-card playable deck with bleeding edge, in (mostly) black and white or in color, ready to be printed for free here on my Ko-fi and you can also find the G-Drive link here in case Ko-fi doesn't work for you.

I already am working on a few upcoming decks and the next one is looking to be really fun!

Working on some LotR Alters

Working on some alters from other UB's to fit them into the Tolkien-verse. Curious to see what you all think.

Hi,

I made such panels for the FFVII characters, I think they can be used to make cool proxy cards? If you make any feel free to post them. (All the arts are from the FFBExFFVII colab)

Where can I find this template/frame from "Trix are for Scoot" to finish my deck?

While navigating proxxied I found a lot of cards with this template and thought it fitted very well within my next Light-Paws deck... But there's some cards I'm missing. I found "Trix are for Scoot" drives on https://mpcfill.com/contributions with their folder called DND, but I would love to have the frame myself so I can finish the other cards for my deck.

Anyone has it or know where can I get it to use on cardconjurer.app?

How Does the Community Feel About AI Alters?

Here a just a few of the AI GPT 5.5 alters I did for my skeleton-pirate bracket 1 deck. I originally planned to only do a few but ended up altering like 75 of the card arts because of how good they turned out.

What are peoples thoughts? I think it is fine if for personal use, but passing it off as your own work or selling is obviously a problem. I think it will be a challenge determining what is human soon because of how good the models are getting, I mean these alters are fantastic looking IMO.

(Likely a controversial post, wanted to get a feel for what others think)

Sonic the Hedgehog Sega Genesis Frame EDH Pack

Deck here, Decklist here

Hello everyone! Finally posting my first project.

This started out as a sketch at work, where I quickly draw up a rough mockup in Powerpoint (limited options at work). I included a few WIP here so you could see the refinement process. I'm not really sure what drew me to this deck in particular, as I'm not a huge Sonic game or movie fan. But the deck is a ton of fun, very aggressive, and very good. With these frames on my Sonic playmat, it really pops on the able.

I've included a decklist, but there are plenty of cards to make your own changes. I'm a tinkerer, so I may add more cards and tokens eventually.

Enjoy! I have a Spider-Man and Avatar deck completed as well, and a TMNT deck that is almost done. I'll post those soon. Take care!
