So I like to play Magic the Gathering.  I thought it would be neat to try and create my own cards based on characters from tv, movies, etc.  Come up with at least 4 cards based on characters or locations from your favorite show, movie, book, or other story.  To actually create the cards, you can use this Card Generator site.  Aditionally, if you are unfamiliar with the terminology used in magic, you can find the glossary here helpful.  Get creative and make Magic art dammit!

Harry Dresden Magic Card

I play Magic: The Gathering on occasion, and found the “Create your own magic card” assignment amusing because of its creative potential.  Its fun to think of a favorite character’s traits and abilities and distilling those things into stats for a card game.  I chose Harry Dresden, a character from …

Magic!

 

  

MAGIC is in the air! Or rather, Magic the Gathering. I’ve played the game before, so I got a giggle out of the fact that I could make my own cards. I had a lot of fun picking out different character and land cards to make out of classic noir …
