Paragon Superhero Card Game Template
by ShuffleKit · 31 installs
A comic book superhero set: hero, villain, ally and event fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. Each frame is built from editable shapes rather than a flattened image, so it prints crisp at any size and its colour is one fill to change. Full-bleed art sits under a white name banner with a cost medallion, stat plates for attack, defense and health run down the edge of the art, and a bound type tab heads a rules box with a trait line and flavour. Comes with a six-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 Paragon Superhero Card Game Template
Five designs: Hero Card, Villain Card, Ally Card, Event 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, Cost, Traits, Description, Flavor Text, Attack, Defense and Health. Six of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Read the six sample cards
| Name | Subtitle | Cost | Traits | Description | Flavor Text | Attack | Defense | Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brightwire | Hero | 4 | Guardian. Inventor. | Overcharge: When Brightwire attacks, you may discard a card to deal 2 extra damage to the target and 1 damage to each other enemy engaged with you. Grid Link: Once per round, when an ally you control would take damage, exhaust Brightwire to prevent 2 of it. | “Every light in this city runs off the same grid as me. Cut the power and I only get louder.” | 3 | 2 | 10 |
| Gearjack | Hero | 3 | Robot. Inventor. | Gadgeteer: At the start of your turn, look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Put a Gadget from among them into your hand and the rest on the bottom. Wind Up: Pay 1 extra energy when you play an event to give it +2 damage or +2 healing. | “Wound up at dawn, run down by midnight. Everything in between belongs to this city.” | 2 | 3 | 8 |
| Mister Mirage | Villain | Criminal. Illusionist. | Hall of Mirrors: When Mister Mirage is revealed, each hero shuffles a Reflection token into their deck. Vanish: The first time each round he would take damage, flip a coin. On heads, prevent all of it and move him to another location in play. | “You were never fighting me, friend. You were fighting the man you expected to find.” | 3 | 2 | 14 | |
| Rustmaw | Villain | Brute. Machine. | Salvage: After Rustmaw defeats an ally, attach it to him facedown. He gets +1 ATK for each card attached this way. Scrap Armour: Rustmaw cannot take more than 5 damage from a single attack, and he ignores the first Stun placed on him each round. | “One hero's broken armour is another villain's spare parts. I was never picky about which.” | 4 | 3 | 18 | |
| Newshound | Ally | 2 | Robot. Reporter. | Front Page: When Newshound enters play, look at the top 2 cards of the villain deck and put them back in any order. Hot Tip: Exhaust Newshound to give a hero +1 ATK against the villain this turn. If that attack defeats a minion, draw a card and ready Newshound at the end of the round. | “Sit. Stay. Get me the plate on that getaway van, and the villain's good side. Good boy.” | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| Rooftop Rescue | Event | 1 | Heroism. Teamwork. | Play when a civilian or ally you control would be defeated. Prevent it, then ready one hero you control and move them to that card's location. If you prevented 3 or more damage this way, remove 1 threat from the scheme and draw a card. Limit one Rooftop Rescue per hero each round. | “Nobody falls on my watch. That goes double for anybody with four legs and a tail.” |
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 Paragon Superhero Card Game Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Paragon Superhero Card Game Template to a project?
The five designs, the ten fields and the six 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 Paragon Superhero Card Game 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 Paragon Superhero Card Game 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 Paragon Superhero Card Game 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.
