Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template
by ShuffleKit · 34 installs
A painted full-art fantasy card set: Water, Fire, Earth and Air fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. The painting runs to every edge of the card, and the name, cost, type line and rules float on it as tinted glass plates with gold rims. Each frame is built from editable shapes rather than a flattened image, so every plate is a fill you can recolour. Attack and defense badges hide themselves on cards without stats, and an Element column picks each card's glass. Comes with an eight-card sample deck.

Adding a template copies its designs, fields, and sample cards into your own project. Your copy is yours, and later changes by the author never touch it.
What’s in Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template
Five designs: Water Card, Fire Card, Earth Card, Air Card and Card Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Name, Artwork, Subtitle, Element, Cost, Traits, Description, Flavor Text, Attack and Defense. Eight of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Read the eight sample cards
| Name | Subtitle | Element | Cost | Description | Flavor Text | Attack | Defense |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stillwater Grove | Rare Aura — Sanctuary | Water | 4 | Lands in the affected area each provide one extra mana of their own element. At the start of your turn, gain 1 life for each Water land you control anywhere in the affected area. | The herons have kept this garden longer than any king has kept a crown, and they have never once asked for the key. | ||
| Reefback Tortoise | Uncommon Minion — Tortoise | Water | 5 | Minions in Reefback Tortoise's land can't be targeted by enemy magic. When it dies, that land becomes a Water land until the end of the turn, and you may draw a card. | Whole villages of crabs have built their homes upon its shell. Not one of them has ever thought to ask it first. | 3 | 6 |
| Cinderwing Drake | Rare Minion — Dragon | Fire | 6 | Flying. When Cinderwing Drake enters play, deal 2 damage to each other minion in its land. It strikes first against minions with 2 or less defense, and can't be blocked by them. | It does not hunt the valley. It simply lands there, folds its wings, and waits for the valley to finish burning. | 5 | 4 |
| Kindle the Pyre | Common Magic — Invocation | Fire | 2 | Deal 3 damage to target minion. If it dies this turn, return a Fire magic from your discard pile to your hand. That magic costs 1 less to cast until the end of your following turn. | The phoenix is not born of the fire. It is only the part of the fire that remembers everything it has ever burned. | ||
| Barrow Warden | Uncommon Minion — Knight | Earth | 3 | Guardian. Barrow Warden can't be moved or returned to hand by enemy magic. While it stands in an Earth land, other minions you control in that land get +0/+2 and Guardian. | It swore to guard the barrow until the king woke again. The king is patient. So, it turns out, is the oath. | 2 | 5 |
| Rootbound Crown | Rare Artifact — Relic | Earth | 3 | The bearer gets +1/+1 for each Earth land you control. At the end of your turn, if the bearer did not move this turn, draw a card. If it did, you may untap one land you control. | Its last king has been gone a thousand years. The roots that hold it now have never noticed, and never will. | ||
| Stormcrest Roc | Uncommon Minion — Roc | Air | 4 | Flying. Stormcrest Roc may move to any land at the start of your turn. Whenever it attacks, you may return target enemy minion with 2 or less defense to its owner's hand. | Shepherds count their flock again after its shadow passes over the valley. However they count, they are always one short. | 4 | 3 |
| Errand of the Zephyr | Common Magic — Gale | Air | 1 | Move target minion you control to any land, then draw a card. If that minion has Flying, it also gets +2/+0 until the end of the turn and can't be blocked by minions without Flying. | Swallows ride it north every spring and south every autumn, and not once in a thousand years have they paid the toll. |
Printing at poker size
Poker: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship.
A printer asks for an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge on top of those numbers, so this card goes out as 825 × 1125. The export adds it. Let the artwork run into the bleed and keep the text inside the cut line, and nothing arrives trimmed.

Questions about Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template to a project?
The five designs, the ten fields and the eight sample cards are copied into a project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the design. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template print at?
Poker size: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI. Those are the numbers to hand a print shop, and the ones to check a sleeve against.
Is Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template free?
Yes. Adding it, editing it, filling it with your own cards and playtesting it online are all free. Exporting print files starts on the Hobby plan, and Print & Ship through The Game Crafter is on Indie. No template sits behind a paid plan.
Can I change the designs?
Yes. They land in your project as ordinary layouts, so you can drag an element somewhere else, put your own art behind the frame, restyle the type or rename a field. Edit a design once and every card on it follows.
Can I use my own cards instead of the samples?
Yes — the samples are rows in a sheet, and they are there to be overwritten. Type over them, add rows of your own, or bring a CSV and match its headers to the fields.
Can I sell a game made with Halcyon Full Art Trading Card Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
Ready to build your card game?
This template is free, and so is the editor it opens in.
