TCG artist database for search?

Hi, I'm looking to identify just four more artists from Spellfire. I am having a world of trouble with those last four, there's no hair nor hide of them anywhere.

I'm assuming they didn't work on just Spellfire but may have worked on other TCGs. I've already tried asking every MtG artist to 2007 if they worked on Spellfire (as it was discontinued in 1997, that seems like a reasonable cutoff date). I've looked at previous Spellfire artists, I've looked at all Dragon Magazine alumni from 200-248, and I still can't find those artists. Right now I'm wondering if they may have worked on other TCGs.

So I'd like to get the name from every known artist from the games in Scrye's 2004 edition of the card list. However, I'm not familiar with this fandom, and I wouldn't know how to begin making such a search. I really hope I don't have to go through 75000 cards and start writing down every artist myself!

I've taken a quick look over the last three hours to rule out every card game that used photographs or 3D renders for art, but I'm not sure where to go from here. That's still like 100 games, going over every card posted online to see if the resolution is enough to read who's the artist seems like a real nonstarter.

Did someone do this already and write a list of every old TCG's cards and respective artists? Or is this another thing I'll have to figure out if I want to get this one done?

What sleeves do you use??

I always double sleeve, but it usually turns down the clarity, making the cards less vibrant and beautiful.

The only way to appreciate the cards fully is to take it out.. and I’d rather not 💀

So yeah.. which sleeves do you experience as the nicest ones to look at when it comes to clarity and vibrancy?

Beginner Card Collection

My daughters (ages 5 and 7) are interested in collecting Pokémon cards. I would love to support this hobby both as an enthusiastic parent and to collect some cards that would grow in value over time.

I have no experience collecting cards, and I’m only familiar with Pokémon from the cartoon and movies we have watched together as a family.

Any advice would be a great help? Thank you.

People asked for them so I am making them free and public domain: Card Box Dividers for long boxes; multi-row boxes; and fat packs.

BLUF: Because r/magicTCG is not a place to shill & paywall simplistic 3d printed designs that benefit the community I have published free, public domain, card box dividers for long boxes, multi-row boxes, and fatpacks. Printables | MakerWorld | Thingiverse | Cults3d

Summary

Below you will find links to download card storage dividers that fit standard long boxes, multi-row boxes, and MTG Fat Packs / Pokemon Elite Trainer boxes. You will also find free and cost effective printing solutions for those without a 3d printer. These files are free and public domain. The Fusion360 design file is included to allow folks to remix and fine tune the designs as they see fit.

Why?

Posts on r/magicTCG solely focused on financial gain frustrate me. Especially those that leverage basic concepts from existing designs without improvement. As a hobbyist it took me ~4 hours to design, test, refine, and upload, nothing about the design was difficult. Our community should not be exploited as some cash grab. If you have something to share please do so, but there is money involved there need to be some level of reasonableness. Charging $20 for single STL file that does not contain all the designs and/or 1500% filament profit margins is disgusting, plain and simple.

Here is the price breakdown for printing each design file for someone buying standard filament on amazon ($22 USD / 1 KG).

|| || |Divider|Filament (g)|Price/Filament (g)|Price/Unit|MSRP|Profit| |Long Box|8.41|$ 0.022|$ 0.185|   $ 3.00|1521%| |Multi-Row Box|7.06|$ 0.022|$ 0.155|   $ 3.00|1831%| |Fatpack/ETB|7.2|$ 0.022|$ 0.158|   $ 3.00|1794%|

Card Divider Benefits

  • Secures Your Cards: Prevents movement in partially filled trading card boxes, safeguarding your collection.
  • Enhances Organization: Offered in a range of colors to suit your style or sort cards by set, series, or theme.
  • Tailored Design: Fits perfectly into standard long boxes, ensuring a tidy and efficient storage solution for card enthusiasts.

What if you don't have a printer? (Free)

  • Public Library Makerspaces
    • Many public libraries have makerspaces with 3D printers that are free to use. Users only need to supply or pay for the filament, which is often very affordable.
    • Suggest users check their local library's website for policies and availability.
  • Community Fab Labs or Hackerspaces
    • Some Fab Labs or hackerspaces offer free 3D printing services or workshops. These spaces are often open to the public and encourage collaboration.
  • Friends or Family with a 3D Printer
    • Encourage users to ask their network. Someone they know might have a 3D printer and be willing to help for free.
  • Local Schools or Universities
    • Schools or universities with engineering or design programs may allow community members to use their 3D printers, especially for educational or collaborative projects.
  • Online Communities
    • Platforms like Reddit (e.g., r/3Dprinting) or local social media groups might connect users with hobbyists willing to print for free or trade for other goods/services.

What if you don't have a printer? (Cost Affordable)

  • 3D Hubs/Online Printing Services:
    • Websites like Craftcloud, Treatstock, or Shapeways allow users to upload 3D files and have them printed and shipped. These services offer competitive pricing and material options.
  • Local Print Shops
    • Many local businesses now offer 3D printing services at reasonable rates, especially for smaller jobs.
  • Makerspaces with Affordable Printing
    • While some makerspaces are free, others charge a small fee for access or material costs. This can still be highly affordable compared to professional services.
  • Etsy Sellers or Local Hobbyists
    • Users can reach out to Etsy sellers or local 3D printing enthusiasts who offer affordable printing services for custom files.
  • PrinterShare Platforms
    • Platforms like Makexyz connect users with local 3D printer owners who can print files for a reasonable price.
  • Library or School Printing Fees
    • While some institutions offer free services, others charge nominal fees based on time or material used.
  • Material-Only Cost Makerspaces
    • Some makerspaces only charge for the filament used, which can range from $1-$5 for small projects.

Just starting collecting/possibly made a big mistake

Hello, I would really appreciate some advice in regards to buying ETBs through EBay and them coming from the UK. Little context in regards to this inquiry. I’m super new to the Pokémon world and collecting and I might have been a little over zealous when I purchased 4 prismatic evolutions ETBs on eBay yesterday. I received a message from the UK seller today saying he’s going to send me an agreement letter in the mail I will need to signed and send back. This has got me concerned now about potentially getting ripped off somehow. Any advice/comments would be appreciated. I do also apologize if I’m breaking any TOS for the subreddit I’m also new to this platform and don’t know all the proper etiquette.

Help identifying Spellfire card artists

Hi! I'm Italian Karsus, and I'm close to identifying every last card artist for Spellfire's 4th edition and 2 subsequent boosters, which were never credited. I believe I've made it to the last stretch! If I'm right about things (and I might be wrong, but I've worked really hard at this; if anyone's going to be right, it's gonna be me), then I've got 5 unknown artists left.

I'd like to try a different avenue for this last stretch. I've gone through all Spellfire artists, and then all Magic the Gathering artists to 2000, and then all Dragon magazine art contributors from 200 to 248, cold e-mailing the ones that I could. There's one last place I'd like to check, but it's entirely too big, even for me, and I need to stop at some point. I'd like to ask people who have other trading cards if they think they recognize the art style of the cards still missing. Here's the website with the last few cards I've yet to identify.

https://italiankarsus.github.io/SPELLFIRE4e/

If you recognize the art style for any of the cards displayed at the start, or know of any cards with signatures similar to the ones I've put up top, please let me know, so we can try and attribute the art.

There's a few I believe I've guessed correctly and I'm confident enough to write the guess down. Still, without a firm confirmation, the attributions are written down explicitly as "assumed", and I'll accept correction on them. Some I've tried to contact, so far unsuccessfully, and are written down as "Confirmation Pending"; "RIP" should be self-explanatory.

Path of the Necromancer Hero Card Game

https://reddit.com/link/1h3xicv/video/3dyf9wdkp64e1/player

Hi everyone,

We’re excited to introduce Path of the Necromancer, a trading card game we’ve been working hard to bring to life. This is a dark fantasy horror game where you step into the role of a necromancer, commanding minions, casting spells, and using relics to overpower your opponent.

The gameplay is all about making meaningful decisions—how to spend your lifeforce, when to use your Hero’s abilities, and what cards to prioritize on the battlefield.

Gameplay Modes

One of the things that makes Path of the Necromancer stand out is its versatility in gameplay. Whether you prefer intense head-to-head battles or chaotic multiplayer free-for-alls, this game has you covered:

  • 1v1 Duels: Classic one-on-one battles where strategy and timing are everything.
  • 2v2 Team Play: Partner up and work together with a teammate to take down your opponents. Coordination and synergy are key in this mode.
  • Free-For-All (2–4 Players): Every necromancer for themselves! Outwit and outlast your opponents in a thrilling fight for supremacy.

Meet the Heroes

We’re launching with four unique Heroes, each with their own playstyle:

  • Ragnar the Malignant: The undead general. Ragnar summons skeletons to overwhelm opponents and has explosive abilities like Corpse Explosion, which sacrifices a minion to damage all enemies, and Reanimate, which brings back fallen minions to keep up the pressure.
  • Morgana the Dark Enchantress: A master of spellcasting. Morgana thrives on versatility with abilities like Witching Hour, letting her cast spells at any time, and Arcane Infusion, which rewards her for casting multiple spells in a single turn.
  • Blood Queen Valeria: The vampiric sovereign. Valeria thrives on death, healing herself as minions fall with Blood Harvest, and pushing her limits with Judgment of the Dead, allowing her to trade health for powerful plays.
  • Atropal the Soulweaver: A demonic summoner. Atropal builds momentum with Hell’s Favor, reducing the cost of his first minion each turn, and overwhelms the battlefield with Dark Summoning, calling low-cost minions directly from his deck or graveyard.

Each Hero offers a distinct style, and their abilities create endless possibilities for strategy and deck-building.

Customizable Hero Decks

The Hero decks are carefully designed to work seamlessly on their own, but they’re also built with customization in mind. You can mix and match cards from different Heroes to create custom decks that suit your playstyle. Want to combine Ragnar’s relentless skeletons with Morgana’s spellcasting finesse? Or mix Valeria’s vampiric lifegain with Atropal’s aggressive minion summoning? The possibilities are endless.

Some Cool Extras We’ve Built

We’re building more than just a card game. Here are some additional tools and resources to get the most out of Path of the Necromancer:

  • Discord: Join our server to stay up to date with announcements, give direct feedback, and find players to game with—either in person or online.
  • Lifeforce Tracker App: Manage health and lifeforce easily with our app, available on Android and iOS. It’s sleek, intuitive, and includes a quick rules reference.
  • YouTube Tutorials: Check out our YouTube channel for videos explaining how to play and diving into advanced strategies. We’re adding new content regularly, so stay tuned!
  • Tabletop Simulator Version: If you own Tabletop Simulator, you can try the game for free. It includes the first four Hero decks as well as upcoming Hero decks we’re testing.
  • Website: Visit Pathofthenecromancer.com for the latest news, Hero deck details, gameplay guides, and more. The site is your one-stop hub for everything Path of the Necromancer, including updates, strategy tips, and links to all our resources.

What’s Next?

We’re not stopping here. Path of the Necromancer is designed to grow and evolve over time. Our release plan includes launching new Heroes every two months, bringing fresh strategies and mechanics to the game.

Coming in December is Anubis, Ruler of the Underworld, a mummy-themed deck centered around the Egyptian god of the dead. This deck will introduce new gameplay elements tied to ancient rituals and resurrection, offering a unique way to command the battlefield.

You can try Anubis now on Tabletop Simulator alongside our released decks. We’d love to hear your feedback!

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Seriously. We’re eager to hear your thoughts, questions, and feedback. Join us in the Discord or drop us a comment here—we’d love to chat about the game.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Path of the Necromancer!
