*There must be emphasis on the "Grand-ness" of the subject mobs to set it apart from regular mobs.
*If a new player compared the card image against that of a regular mob, without being told they are different, would they be able to differentiate a Grand Marin from a regular Marin?
*Creativity. While the mobs look exactly like a regular mob in-game, we allow and encourage players to add as much of their flair and creativity as possible to distinguish the Grand Mobs from regular ones. Art styles other than digital arts are accepted as well.
*The artwork has a strong focus on one of the eight mobs as the main subject of the art piece.
*As much as you can please curate the artwork to be able to fit within the dimensions of the card frame. The artwork must still look good and make sense when cropped to fit the card frame.

The MCA & Banner Art Contest was a community art contest that took place from 28th May to 30th June.

The contest aimed to update the official card images for the eight custom mini bosses of the Mystical Card Album. See below.

The contest also opened submission for Banner Art which could be used during streams or other advertisements.

Altogether there were nine categories.


Prizes & Judging

For each category, winners by Community Favourite were determined through a voting conducted on the server's discord.

The prizes by popular vote are listed below.


Additionally, the GM Team will also select entries (through staff vote) which they find most suitable to be the official card art. This is independent of an entry's position in the Community Favourite vote.


Thus, it is possible for a single entry to win both the Community Favourite and GM Selected prizes. Or inversely, only either Community Vote or GM Selected Vote.

The prizes for GM Selected entries are as follows:

Puff Card

Poof Card


Hardened Anvil Card
