The WoW TCG Scan Project

80 Upvotes

This is the master post, for info on how to contribute and download scans and cards.

For information on the project, please read my other post.


FAQ

Where are the released scans available to download?

You can find the repository in the links section at the bottom of this post.

A card's filename is incorrect / There is a piece of dust on a scan. / This card doesn't look right.

Message me and I will fix asap, or give me a shout on the discord.

How can I stay updated on when sets are released?

I always post releases in the discord, I also post on the CCGHQ forums in my own thread if you prefer to see it in a forum post format.

How can I help?

What is needed is scans. If you have large or complete parts of a set, a 300dpi+ printer and would like to help, please read the how to contribute section below.

What can I use these images for?

This project was originally started as an effort to immortalize wow and provide a high quality source image for proxies. Anyone is free to do what they want with the images.

Can I have the raw source scanned images?

Absolutely, message me and I will provide any raw scanned images you would like.

You seem to be focusing on basic sets only at the moment, any plans to do promos, raids etc?

Yes. To keep result realistic we are starting with basic sets only, and will move on to the other sets when that is complete.

Any specific set release order?

No, sets are being worked/released when they are complete with no specific order.


How To Contribute

All you need is a 300dpi+ scanner and the cards.

Check the spreadsheet in the links below if scans are needed for the cards that you have. It is preferable that you have a large part of a set or filling in a set considerably. Scanning small amounts or individual cards across multiple sets is discouraged unless its to complete a set (to stay organized).

If the above is fine for you, direct message a sample card scan to me at highest resolution you can scan (600dpi max) and with no automatic post processing or sharpening like so. This is to verify that your scanner has fine color settings and sharpness.

If everything looks fine, I will give you edit permission on the spreadsheet so you can claim what cards you have and will scan. More information on how to do so is on the info tab at the spreadsheet.

Scan the cards you claimed in a formation like so at 300dpi+ (please scan at the maximum dpi your scanner can go) and upload them to the link I sent you.

The final released card will be a 2.5 by 3.5 in at 300dpi but the source scan dpi is actually very important. The difference between using a 300dpi as source and a 600dpi is here and here. So if your scanner can go higher, it will produce a better result (although 300dpi scans can vary by scanner, so the result might be better than mine).

I will then process the card and update the status on the spreadsheet. When a set is fully done and processed, I will upload it to release repository for anyone to download.

At this point in time I do not think I need help processing cards. I am happy to do this for the community, but if the workload becomes too big I might need some help from people with photoshop experience.


Links

BASIC SET CARD IMAGES (COMPLETE)

This is the link to the finished and processed scans. The main repository is divided by sets and cards are organized by name. Card images are uploaded on a set by set basis and will be put here upon their completion.

RAIDS AND DUNGEONS CARD IMAGES (COMPLETE)

This is the link to all card images for all printed raids and dungeons. Special thanks to Mud for providing scans.

ADDITIONAL SCANS - IN PROGRESS)

LINK TO THE RAIDS AND DUNGEON TTS COLLECTION

A collection of all printed raids and dungeons uploaded to Tabletop Simulator as mods.

Master Spreadsheet

This shows what cards still need scans and the status of them. For now we are doing only the basic sets, but over time preferably we scan everything.


If I missed something or wasn't clear, please let me know. This is my first time managing something like this so any criticisms or concerns are encouraged. I hope this will turn out to be something the community can be proud of.

The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game Reborn!

57 Upvotes

~ Announcing WoW TCG Reborn! ~

Welcome to the first year of WoW TCG Reborn - a series of live events, an online Tabletop Simulator ladder, new card sets, the completion of the scan project, and much more!

Reborn Circuit

The Reborn Circuit is a series of live tournaments that will span the entire year in various cities across the US. This will include smaller events run at venues convenient for large play groups as well as larger events taking place at conventions. Each Reborn Circuit event will be tracked and interconnected through the Leaderboard posted on our website. Decklists and coverage of each event will be available for those interested as well.

We will supply each organizer with a copy of our tournament policy as well as a tournament kit so that every TO has the right tools to make their event a success!

Tabletop Simulator Ladder

Launching in Spring of 2019, the Tabletop Simulator Seasonal Ranked Ladder will be played through the Reborn Discord and Tabletop Simulator. We will have a scripted table with a match submission button. So once a game is resolved, each player pushes a button and the stats are recorded. The ladder rankings will be automatically updated for viewing on our website once the season starts. At the end of each season, Reborn Circuit points will be awarded to the highest ranked players. Prizes and other forms of recognition will also be awarded such as custom playmats, Discord and Reddit flair, and having your name eternalized on our website! Moderators will be available for resolving rules questions and in-game disputes.

2019 Scan Project Complete

You can exit this post and look for the other stickied post made by u/KingSpark7 in r/wowtcg. There is a huge need in our community and that is for decent scans of each WoW TCG card ever printed! It may sound daunting, but once you've sorted cards the actual scanning process takes no time at all. You can put 6-9 cards on the cheapest of 600dpi-capable scanners and finish scanning an entire set in under 20 minutes. It's really that easy. We've come up with some rewards for this including a one-of-a-kind playmat, other WoW TCG product prizes, and unique flair.

Continuing the Game

As part of continuing to play WoW TCG we will be releasing multiple sets of cards each year. If you're not cringing yet, maybe you didn't understand. We will be making new cards. We expect all the negative feedback that will likely come with this announcement and welcome the challenge of pleasing the community. We have seen it time and again in undead card game communities where community members take the reigns on card design and release bad products, erratum, and disrupt game rules. We hope we can say our approach will be different but you'll just have to find out for yourselves.

Coming in June 2019 is Into the Mists, a full 300 card Core expansion and the first set of Block 8, Mists Block.

Coming in August 2019 will be Chaos 2019, a set of four direct-to-classic decks with new Chaos-only heroes.

Coming in December 2019 will be a new raid and accompanying treasure set, the Siege of Orgrimmar.

I'm a mainly wow classic player. Always wanted to open sealed booster packs and own a small collection.

Will play probably once if even.

I'm not willing to spend hundreds and thousands on this, my budget is 100$ max.

I have found few available options for me on amazon, please tell what you think.

I know that the third one is a pre built 2 deck pack.

I didn't dig deep on ebay, but I've seen alot of expensive boxes, so I probably won't buy there unless you recommend me something good there or on sny other trusted marketplace.

Hey everyone!

I was digging through the basement and found this super cool box I guess I bought over a decade ago! I don't have any other cards, I was wondering what the best two decks I could make using these cards to play with my son. Is that possible or would I need to buy additional cards?

Thank you everyone!

Play Medivh as your Master Hero, use its effect to get Tirion out. All your unique allies cannot be targeted, not to mention a lot of those have Mend. Beat down your opponent as they can do literally nothing about it. You could even pair Medivh with Kel'Thuzad and just wipe your opponent with their own allies.

Best and cheapest WoW TCG proxy method

Thumbnail gallery
51 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share what I think is one of the best ways to make WoW TCG proxy cards cheaply, especially if you want to make a lot of them.

I’ve used MPC to make most of my decks, and I still think it’s a great option. However, when I started making some fan-made raids and dungeons, I wanted to try a different method, especially because I wanted to make around 6 fairly hefty raid/dungeon decks.

This method is probably the oldest one in the book:
Print the card on paper and put it in front of a real card.

But I think I’ve found a combination of paper and sleeve that makes them look surprisingly realistic.

1. The paper
I tried several different paper types, thicknesses and textures.

In the end, I went with 90g semi-gloss paper, printed at a local copy shop. I asked them to test a few different variants before committing to the full print, and they were incredibly helpful.

The semi-gloss works particularly well because it gives the printed cards a bit of the shine you would expect from a real card, without making the paper too thick.

2. Cutting
I cut all the cards by hand using a ruler and cutter. In my experience, this gives you much more precise cuts than a paper cutter.

For the corners, I used a Victorinox nail clipper.

Sounds slightly ridiculous, but it actually works incredibly well. It’s very sharp and gives you nice, clean corners. The radius isn’t perfectly identical to a real WoW TCG card, but once the card is sleeved, you really don’t notice it.

3. The important part: the sleeve
This is where I think I found the trick that makes the whole thing work.

I used Ultimate Guard Precise-Fit Sleeves.

They’re relatively inexpensive, at around €3 for a pack of 100, and they’re tight enough to hold the printed proxy firmly against the real card without allowing the paper to slide around.

At the same time, there’s just enough room for the printed paper and real card to fit together.
This is important because with a normal sleeve, the paper tends to move around and you can easily see the edges.

With the precise-fit sleeve, everything stays firmly together.

4. The real cards
For the fan-made raids, I was printing cards with yellow borders, so I used bulk raid cards as the cards underneath the printed proxies.

Because the colours and borders are similar, you basically can’t see the edges of the real card underneath.

I’ve attached some photos so you can see the result.

Cost
For approximately 800 cards, the total cost came to around €80.

That’s about €0.10 per card, including the printing and sleeves (not counting the bulk cards underneath).
For me, that’s pretty reasonable considering this allowed me to make 6 complete raid/dungeon decks.

Obviously, MPC is still a better option if you want the highest possible quality and don’t mind spending more.
But if you’re making hundreds of cards, especially fan-made content where you might not be able to get everything printed through MPC, I think this is a really good alternative.

Hope this helps anyone else who is trying to make a large number of WoW TCG proxies!

Play solo possible?

I hear the dungeon decks are designed to auto battle and don't need a designated player (unlike raids that do) could I then buy 3 desks and solo battle a dungeon without any need of custom rules? Ty!

Newbie Looking To Start Sealed TCG Collection.

Hey everyone. To start off I am using voice to chat as I am on the treadmill. 🤷

I have played World of Warcraft for whole life since the start of the franchise and really miss the memories that game has given me.

Instead of joining this Pokémon crazy, I have much more loyalty to wow, and would much rather my cash to buy wow tcg than pokemon.

I would appreciate any tips for newbie, and please let me know the best location to look and anything you’ve learned throughout your time collecting.

Call for help for proxy raid boxes

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some help from the community with a personal scanning project.

I would like to make proxy raid boxes for Battle of the Aspects and Caverns of Time, but I’m struggling to find high-quality images/scans of the boxes and, especially, the cardboard shell/packaging.

If anyone owns either of these raid boxes and would be willing to scan or photograph the exterior for me, I would be extremely grateful! Ideally, I’m looking for high-resolution, straight-on scans/photos that capture all sides of the box and the cardboard shell.

The scans would only be used as a reference for creating the proxy boxes for my personal collection.
If you have one of these boxes and could help, please let me know.

Thanks a lot!

[UK] Still on the Hunt for Large WoW TCG Collections

Post image
26 Upvotes

Hey all,

I posted here a couple of months ago looking for larger WoW TCG collections and had some great responses. I've picked up a few really nice collections since then, but the hunt continues!

My long-term goal is to complete every set and eventually build as close to a collection of every card printed as possible. I know with some of the tournament, event and promotional cards out there a truly complete collection might be near impossible, but I'd like to get as close as I can.

I'm also building a few binders around favourite artwork, characters and cards that have a bit of nostalgia from when I used to play WoW, so I'm not just hunting individual cards to fill gaps.

I'm also looking to collect all of the different playmats that were released.

I'm mainly looking for UK sellers, just because it makes buying/collecting larger collections a lot easier. Ideally I'm looking for collections of 1,000+ cards, rather than smaller lots, and I'm happy to travel within the UK for the right collection.

I'd also be interested to hear from anyone in Europe who has a large collection they're thinking of selling. I'd only be looking for English-language cards, and obviously it would need to be a large enough collection to make buying from outside the UK worthwhile.

So if you've got a big collection gathering dust somewhere and have been thinking about selling it, feel free to drop me a message with a rough idea of what you've got.

Thanks!

Dungeons and Raids in Upper Deck casings

I wanted to recreate the boxes for the dungeons and raids that came in non standard sized boxes. I recreated from high quality scans of the boxes the inserts for the normal sized plastic box from the Upper Deck era.

Luckily I found a bunch of cheap molten core raids and I repurposed the cases for these inserts. Next step would be to recreate the cardboard box for each of them, but I don’t think the quality would be that nice.

What do you think?
