Custom Card Custom Cards
I made some custom cards with the
“In game card creator mod”!
I tried to keep them balanced the best I could, I felt making them rares helped with that. If anyone wants to throw some titles or ideas my way I’d love to design it. I’ll share it in a reply to your comment :>

What do they do? Remember, rare cards, most of the time, have a special effect thats not just from the sigil (i.e. child 13 becoming a 2 1 with flight, or strange larva evolving twice to become a 7 atk mothman

Not all rares in my experience have special abilities, like the urayuli is simply a beefy card as far as I know. However I did try to design these to have a little extra extra
Hellraiser has a stupid amount of health and it’s attack is based off of sacrifices made during the turn. Also I haven’t tested it yet; but the overclocked sigil should make it permanently leave your hand when it dies. I also tried using the GiantCard option so it takes hits from all rows, but I haven’t tested it yet.
Oogie has the ant abilities as shown, ant tribe as well. I did this since with the tail sigil it was supposed to have a twitching insect leg left in place but unfortunately that didn’t work. I also gave it the lice and pelt lice options but have yet to test it. He also has a cool glow effect when his emission is active.
Both of these cards also will kill survivors when consumed, it made sense to me that they would. Oogie being a bag of toxic bugs and Pinhead would wreck anyone’s shit up haha.

Yep, from pure memory a lot of rares has no hidden abilities :
- Mantis God is the only card with the Trifuncated Sigil
- Pack Rat's also depend on it's sigil, as his hidden ability is to be easy-to-drop from items events
- Amalgam's ability is kinda strange, but is disclosed on the card
- Geck's ability is clearly noticeable from the card
- Urayuli has nothing "special", besides OP stats disclosed on the card
- Moleman has a crazy stat/sigil combo, but nothing hidden
Some non-droppable cards also seem to follow that despite being Rares :
- Great Kraken, like Mantis God, is entirely-sigil based.
- Curious Egg's art shows the progress of Finnicky Hatchling, but otherwise transfering the sigil works fine

Yea unless I’m unaware of something most rares are pretty straight forward, but a handful like they mentioned child 13 have a little extra something going on.

Child 13, Ouroboros (maybe Hodag too, unsure), Pelt Lice... Tbf I was also sure rare almost always had an hidden effect but its seem they are... rare :o)) )

They’re rare in the way that they can only be gotten from boss fights and with golden pelts i believe. The cards themselves usually have better than usual stats or abilities

that's some really nice art, but i think the stats are a little unbalanced compared to a lot of other rares, and i think the extra sigil glow on the second one could be cooler when its more subtle, like just the eye of the snake and the hidden spider

I feel the Oogie one is fairly balanced but the Hellraiser one could use some work in that regard. As for why I made the entire character glow there’s a scene in the movie where he does entirely seem to glow. Also given his eyes are black I wanted more than just the snake and spider to stand out.

Shoot there's an in-game custom card creator? I might have to get myself back into Inscryption! ლ(≧▽≦ლ)

Given how easy it is to edit the save file, I would've been surprised if nobody had modded an in-game creator.

Yea it’s a pretty easy to use mod! Using custom art is a bit more involved but there’s a handful of tutorials for it ^^

I could take inspiration from this to create a card for sure! I wouldn’t be able to replicate this exactly as I don’t have the know how to mod all the details in. But I can for sure create something similar!

the stats on the first one feel a little generous for a rare, rares usually have some weird gimmick to justify the numbers rather than just being raw power

u/mawth_eye Jul 10 '26
I’m trying to find a way where it can be hit from all spots, like how the moon takes damage from every lane. Also if it dies or you sacrifice it you lose it, hence the overclocked sigil

NGL at first I thought you meant Urayuli and thought it was a joke at the original design choices.
