New Set Revealed and $350 to go for stretch goal!
5 months ago – Tue, Mar 31, 2026 at 06:59:46 PM

Hello Backers and Followers,

With 2 weeks left to go in the campaign, we have an artist (Elizabeth Queen's) set to add that had some file problems before that have been sorted out, mostly. Her cardback format is still not working with the print requirements, so the mockup has been set to a default text. We will reveal the back as well if it is finished in time to print. This new set will be a 13-card playing card size set and will be added to all backers getting one of each set.

We are under $350 away from the next stretch goal as well, which, as a reminder, will be an added set by legendary artist duo, Holmberg and Werner, official Magi-Nation original and returning artists, as well as the art team for Plants vs. Zombies and several other properties. We are so excited to get that set and also unlock a $25 bonus for each participating artist! With over 100 custom full art cards, consider pledging if you haven't yet, and maybe consider increasing to the $100 tier for one of every deck. That reward will only continue to grow in value as cards are added, and it is already under $1 per card! 

Even one $500 custom card pledge would put us over the line!

Thanks,

Sharik

New Stretch Goal for a joint set by artist Matt Holmberg and Rich Werner, artists for Magi-Nation and Plants VS Zombies

As we approach the end of our first week of the campaign, we wanted to reach out an let you know how thankful we are for all of your support.  We had the amazing opportunity to work at a convention in Utah with Matt Holmberg, the Art Director and original artist for Magi-Nation, as well as Rich Werner, another original artist.  The two, together, were the art team that made the original Plants Vs Zombies game art for Popcap as well! They are a really cool pair of artists, and when they saw that this campaign had launched, it got their creative juices flowing, and now with approval of 2I LLC (and the artists as well) we are proud to announce a new stretchgoal that we are over half way to already!

If we reach $5,000, then Rich Werner will finish inking the remaining 7 cards for a 13 card set using art based upon Magi-Nation or his other projects. It lines up nicely that there happen to be 13 regions in the Magi-Nation world of the Moonlands just like the 13 base cards and the 13 base classes. Matt Holmberg will also personally color the set, and it will be added as a purchasable set as well as an additional set to all pledges that contain all released sets.  Since 2I is agreeing to a temporary use of some of their IP concepts, we will also donate any and all Magi-Nation inspired art generated by this project to them so they may be used for future promotional cards or any other business use if we get this unlocked.  

This is an awesome opportunity to help get the iconic artist duo aligned on a project jointly again for the first time in a number of years, and they are super hopeful for the chance!  We have less than $2,500 left to go to get to that level!  If this is the only set that would interest you for the Kickstarter, you can also consider pledging for a single set and only lowering or cancelling your pledge at the end if the stretch goal is not obtained. 

To save space on the campaign page the above linearts compilation was put together, but I will post the full ones here and any others as he finishes them.

And finally another card showcase for one of the existing sets we have Clara's Balance card from the extended 22 card set:

Funded!

It has been a great first day.  We passed the funding goal!  It has been a few hours since that level was reached, but we have also been busy vending at the first day of Salt Con where we have had a great day and hyped the project too.  

We are excited to get these made for everyone!  We will provide further updates as we get closer to the first stretch goal.  Thanks all for participating! 
 

Each update we will try to share another card or two.  Today’s card is Julia’s Balance card.
