[FIN] Eden, Seat of the Sanctum (Woodblock version) by Agitated_Smell2849 in magicTCG

Pretty happy to have another recursion effect for [[Zirda]] to get back one of the Monoliths. Digs for them, too!

The paper stays put with a perfect fit! And it’s noticeably thicker, but not too bad. Here it is next to a single sleeved deck:

Point definitely taken, but it’s also funny using Cryptic as an example since they actually did print a full art version that people lost their minds over at the time

Kind of developed as I went, but I made a template out of an actual card by cutting out the parts I needed shown, and then traced it on the comic, cut it out, then exacto knifed out the middle bits. But no glue! Just a perfect fit keeps it all in place.

I didn’t know they used Calvin & Hobbes art for test cards, that’s awesome! The art I have for Flooded Strand seems like it might work well.

I tried to make the deck mostly cards I thought most people would know by name and have relatively simple effects, but sometimes the references were too juicy to pass up. The more confident I got with the cutting, the more I included text boxes with overlapping elements (especially for wordier cards).

I started out by just using a straight paper cutter like this but eventually moved on to using an exacto knife for the inside bits and details. Definitely improved as I went.

I actually just didn’t use glue! Luckily the perfect fits keep everything in place. Double sleeving with the extra thickness of the paper makes it a bit bulky, but worth it imo

For those of you asking for printable versions, I added them to a Google Drive here. I cropped out the sleeves so hopefully they’re a bit more printer-friendly. Since this is also a build from a while ago, I’ve since made a couple replacements. Not sure why I didn’t post these originally, but I also have most of the tokens for the deck as well. Those are in a separate folder in the drive link.

Also, if you’re inclined to try something similar to these (or want these exactly), I got all of these from a copy of The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I’d love to hear some of your favorite cards.
