Buffy Magic Cards!

[Blondie Bear]

My hubby makes fake Magic: The Gathering cards for fun. Here are the ones he made for Buffy:

Those are awesome! I'm not a big Magic fan, or any kind of Magic fan for that matter, but those look seriously legit. Good on your hubby!

[Senior Watcher]

holy shnikes bb! those cards are awesome! tell your hubby that he did a great job and to keep up the great work!

[The Kinslayer]

I haven´t got into this "thing" but that looks really awesome! Fake? Could have fooled me. ;)

[Tranquillity]

My son, who makes his own Yu-gi-oh cards was very impressed!! I like them too.

[Joyce Summers]

Wow, they're great! Quite stunning and I loved which quotes he chose for each one, and actually the whole general thing. Very impressive!

[Keanoite]

Will everyone kick me out of thread if I have no idea what they are???


They are very pretty though:D

I don't think so.

It's a card game, played with 2 or more people.
Buffy has a card game based on a similar idea.

Magic the card game has been very popular since the early '90's.
The cards specify actions or resources you can employ.
It became so popular that it allowed the owners (Wizards of the Coast) to purchase the game Dungeons & Dragons.

There used to be tournaments for big money (thousands of dollars) held worldwide. There still may be for all I know.

Is that enough of a brief summary?

[SC7 Fan]

They're really good! Actually no, scrap that, they're awesome!

[Blondie Bear]

I picked out most of the quotes. He doesn't really know enough about B/A to pick them. :D

HA! The quotes are nice. The only one that doesn't really fit so much is Oz and the werewolf aspect being portrayed.
I'm surprised no one has said anything about Spike being 5/5 while Angel is 4/4 since they are the same cost to bring into play.

[Blondie Bear]

^ That's all me. :D It's mostly about Spike refusing to ever give up and kicking Angel's ass.

[Superstar]

Ya know, a full set of Buffy Magic cards would be really nice.
I'd play that! Really! Let's go!
Might have to change the Mana cards though to a more Sunnyvale motif to keep the Buffy flavor.
There's even a way to play it (Magic) over the internet, or used to be.

I'm an old time Jyhad (Vampire: The Eternal Struggle) player as well.
Was even on the rules team back in the day.
Now that was a mind-screw game - do I bring out the big guns and really weaken myself or not?
The enemy of my enemy is maybe my friend.

[Clem Rocks]

Sorry but I'm unimpressed, all bad choices of artwork, two cards in particular look quite amateurish and all of them have a simple(and probably accidentally) flaw that shows they're fake.

And also, no Clem card. Fail.

[Blondie Bear]

Wow, CR, why don't you tell us what you REALLY think?

Any issues on the cards themselves can be blamed on the software he's using to create them. Unless you're talking about the "set" icon, in which case, he made that up, so of COURSE it's fake.

If you can think of stuff to put on a Clem card, I'll have him make one.

Actually the problem i mentioned was the white corners which comes from saving them as a .jpg. Adding an alpha channel underneath, erasing the white and saving it as a .png should fix it

[Blondie Bear]

They were saved as .jpg specifically so I could post them here. Otherwise he's got them in the Magic creator thing, and I don't know the file extension for those.

[Superstar]

Is he using the full version of this?

[Blondie Bear]

No, he's using the Magic Set Editor.

you can post .png's here as far as i know...

[Blondie Bear]

I'm not worried about how authentic they look. They're not actual proxies, just for fun, and I posted them here just for fun. It's not that big a deal, really.

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

ive never heard of magic: the gathering (well, until now, obviously :p), but these are so cool! your husband did a great job! and you chose awesome quotes!

[edb]

I think they look really great - he did a fab job them! :D AND I actually know of Magic:The Gathering too - happen to be reading one of the books right now 'lol' Plus, our 2nd eldest has the cards too. :)

[Angels baby101]

wow those are so freaking awesome :) i love them all

[Harm's Way]

THOSE ARE FRICKING AWESOME! Sorry, but oh my god! haha

[Lindsey McDonald]

Ok, I just noticed, but I absolutely love the description of Giles as a "Legendary Creature"! That made me smile!
