donate a deck

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Sources must NOT be fan productions, unpublished or unofficial sources, or Western sources.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 25th 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:

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

This is just a suggestion but can we wait for next month with KlK decks? I know that by the time donations close a vast majority of the series will be out so it wouldn't be a problem but we've waited so long it would be a shame to miss out just on the last episodes which could potentially have some nice shots depending on the type of finale this series is going to have and i can assure you that once it ends, i'll personally make sure that nobody in this series goes undonated. of course if you decide that you want to donate Nonon this month, I won't stop you or anything since it's absolutely doable by this point.

oh i was actually gonna wait to turn nonon in at the end of the month since that should be around the time the last episode airs (same for the other magi decks i claimed) but i can save her for the may release instead if that makes it easier for other potential klk deck donations

The donations close earlier this month (about a week earlier) and if my calculations are correct, we'll still be missing the last episode then!

I do understand that it may be possible to donate her in this month, but I think it'd look prettier if we released all characters at the same time, especially since she's a secondary character!

Also, if you'd like to help us with collecting images for any other characters, we'd be extremely grateful! For now our list of characters to donate has Ryuko, Satsuki, Mako, the Elite 4, Mikisugi, Kinagase, Nui, Satsuki's mother and Senketsu (if that will be possible). Though if you'd like someone else we'd be happy to include them as well!

ok i'll hold off on her then and find someone else to donate for the month!

i'll be happy to help you guys gather images for the rest of the characters though and perhaps we can get other members to help us so we can get them all released at the same time

Can you collect Mako's mother? I think she's really cute and I want to collect her. ;A; I know she's in enough episodes for a deck...

Sure, we can add her to the list!

Thank you so much! I know it's a really strange request, but she made me laugh quite a few times.

Just poking my head into this there thread here just to say that I was thinking about using my special deck donation to cobble together a deck of recurring characters, after the show ended (I counted them out and I'm p. sure it can be done). idk if anyone else had plans to do that, and if they do I would definitely defer to them, but if no one else is planning to I would be happy to coordinate around that too!

(I'd also help with epic cooperation collection time if necessary.)

I think we should wait till we have the decks for characters that will be getting them, and then see how many minor characters are left.

And yes, any help is welcome, thanks!
