Deck Donations - Regular

What's a TCG without cards to collect? Donate a deck here! Only regular character decks are accepted here! If you're looking to donate a special deck, please visit deck donations - special.

Acceptable sources for donations include:

• Anime
• Manga, Manhwa, Manhua
• Video games produced in East Asia
• Light novels using manga/anime style art

Sources must NOT be fan productions, unpublished or unofficial sources, or Western sources.

Guidelines

• Include a minimum of 30 official images of the character.
• Include images spanning from the beginning to the end of a series.
• Include only unedited images.
• Include colored images as a priority, and choose images from a variety of sources. For example, Naruto is an extensive manga and has a long-running anime; include images from both in the donation!
• Include images showing a variety of expressions. Ensure the source has enough chapters or episodes to meet this requirement!
• Include images at their highest possible resolution! Better quality donation images ensure better quality decks.
• Do not donate moving .gif files. They are difficult for deckmakers to work with!
• When donating characters from anime or manga series adapted from light novels, be sure to include the original light novel artwork in the donation.
• When donating characters from video games, prioritise cut scenes, character art, promotional art, or other high-quality art sources. Include in-game art only when necessary to meet the 30 image minimum.
• When donating characters from manga, prioritise colored images. In the absence of coloured images, black and white panels submitted must feature a character from at least head to shoulders. Panels featuring speech bubbles on a character's face, only small portions of a character's face, or which cut off at the chin are NOT acceptable.
• When donating characters from visual novels or similar sources, bear in mind that portraits with only minor expression variations are NOT appropriate for a full deck. Ensure the donation meets the 30 image minimum without including these portraits.
• Donate twins separately.
• Donate alternate identities alongside everyday identites—for example, Usagi and Sailor Moon feature in the same deck. However, when a character's alternate identity is a spoiler, please submit separately.
• Consider alternate personalities for their own decks only when the personality is not the same person as the body they inhabit—for example, Yuugi Mutou and the Pharaoh/Spirit of the Puzzle are not the same person, and should have separate decks.
• Compress donations in a .zip or .rar and upload to a sharing site such as Mediafire or Sendspace.
• Check the current and upcoming deck lists to ensure the proposed deck name is free.
• Finally, check other submissions for the current month to ensure no character is donated more than once.

Meeting these requirements will ensure decks are released promptly. Decks not meeting these requirements may be returned to the donor for resubmission or heavily influenced by deckmakers. Please contact a deckmaker directly if you have any uncertainties!

Donations

Members are allowed to donate three regular decks per month. Donations reset on the 25^th of each month, but do wait for the mod comment indicating as much!

When the new month comment goes up, you may comment in response to it claiming the characters you intend to donate for the month—that way no one will donate the same character as you! You may only reserve as many characters as you have donation slots available.

Prizes for donating a deck are 3 random cards & 1 random crayon per deck.

Form

Label the subject of your comment with "Series Name - Character" and donate only one deck per comment unless you are donating multiple characters from the same series. Use the following form to donate:

♥ <b>Your name:</b> ♥ <b># of donation this month:</b> ♥ <b>Character:</b> (for Japanese names, last names come first!) ♥ <b>Series:</b> ♥ <b>Name suggestions:</b> (please suggest non spoilerish names) ♥ <b>Reason for names:</b> (please write a complete sentence which includes the character's name) ♥ <b>Other Suggestions:</b> (does the character have a color associated with them we should know about? Is there an image you'd like as the master badge? Are there poignant images we shouldn't leave out? Keep in mind these are just suggestions. We may not be able to implement them all!) ♥ <b>Link to donation:</b> (compress images in a .zip or .rar file)

Lastly, if you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact any current deckmaker directly! They will be glad to assist you. :)

Rewrite- Konohana Lucia and Nakatsu Shizuru

[honeybrushedheart]

♥ Your name: Chi
♥ # of donation this month: 1
♥ Character: Konohana Lucia
♥ Series: Rewrite
♥ Name suggestions: Gloves, Clean-freak
♥ Reason for names: Lucia is normally always seen wearing a pair of white Gloves; Lucia is misunderstood to be a Clean-freak because of the gloves she always wears
♥ Other Suggestions: Lucia's route was really dark and heartbreaking, so I'd say a Gray deck for her. Image 53 would be a wonderful mastery banner, and the images from 38 to 42 would be a nice card as well!

♥ # of donation this month: 2
♥ Character: Nakatsu Shizuru
♥ Series: Rewrite
♥ Name suggestions: Saury
♥ Reason for names: Shizuru's favorite food to eat is Saury, whether it's just in a tin or cooked on a grill.
♥ Other Suggestions: Could I suggest making her deck yellow or green? And to somehow use images 17 and 30 in the deck. :D

Hey there! I'm super sorry to bother you, and I hope this won't come across as mean-spirited or rude, but I figured you probably just didn't know so I wanted to bring attention to something! I managed to work with your donation by adapting with some artistic cropping so I could get to a bare minimum of 21 without things looking too alike, but please keep in mind that images where there's only slight changes in expression or clothing still count as just one image! That is because very often the small details that change from one to the other get lost in the resizing, and so if you were to put those two images in two different cards, there would be no real difference.

I'm not very good at explaining, but I mean things like same image, but with different lighting/background/clothes or same image, but one has the eyes closed, one has them open, or one has blush and one hasn't, and so on and so on. I hope this won't sound like I'm singling you out (this has happened before, too, so please don't feel bad about it -- again, I am pretty sure you just didn't know!) but I really don't know how to explain this well without a sample, so here you go, to give you an example these images from your zip would all count as one, as opposed to five!

I know visual novels and the like are very tricky, but when donating from them please make absolutely sure you can get to the minimum of 30 while counting such images with slight changes as just "one". I don't know this series, but if you plan on donating from it again, maybe see if you can find promo images as well? Covers and other material, and so on and so on!

You didn't come off as mean-spirited or anything! Thanks for the explanation. :D Luckily, I don't plan on donating anymore characters from Rewrite at this time but I'll be sure to keep it in mind if I donate from any other visual novels in the future.
