Latest Updates from Our Project:
IMPORTANT UPDATE part 2 :) Giveaways, and extended Booster Box discount instructions
about 2 years ago
– Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 10:42:55 PM
Hello Everyone,
First off, if you missed the announcement this morning you may need to go read it to understand some of the Part 2 info. With the unlock of card sleeves we needed 30 and 50 for the respective unlocks of the other designs.
... so in hours since the announcement we are at ...49... so if you want any of the 3 (Tony, Returned sleeves, Moonlands Maps, or Cardback art) feel free to be the 50th one so anyone can pick which they would like in backerkit :).
We are now 15 playmats away from the next hidden design unlock as well.
We are within $2,000 of unlocking booster boxes, but people have been reporting they do not know how to take advantage of the $120 earlybird price. To get booster boxes for $120 each out of those unlocked, you 1) hit edit pledge, 2) add additional funds in multiples of $120 for each box you want added in the extra funds box (not as a new chosen addon just the bonus support free entry box), and 3) contact us after the campaign closes when you get your survey and we will help add the booster box of your choice from any unlocked and get you the credit needed to get a box for each $120 you added. Because this was confusing to a number of people, I will extend the promotional period till end of day 10 PM Mountain Time on the day we hit the $200,000 (Very likely tomorrow at the current pace) to give you a full day instead of just when we hit it to get your discount. Remember, if we do get to over $200,000 before the last 7 days of the campaign begins (in the next day and 1/2) every backer up to the point we hit $200,000 will receive a $2 credit added to their Backerkit survey as a thank you!
Giveaways:
With how well things have gone this week, and where no prizes had to be redrawn, we have decided to double the draws for Volcano Hyrens and Paradwyn Orangarans for 14 winners each. If we unlock the $200k booster boxes and secret magi tomorrow, we will draw a random backer for a free $200 all playsets promo addon, plus another for one of the Japanese Dan promos. If we hit $250,000 before the end of the campaign to unlock the second secret promo magi, Geoh, as discovered by our clue hunters, there will be a drawing for a $400 all foil promos bundle winner as well to celebrate!
Thank you all, we are so excited to be working with you to Re-energize the Moonlands!
IMPORTANT UPDATE booster boxes close and amazing surprise reveal promos! PART 1
about 2 years ago
– Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 12:12:05 PM
Under $13,000 to unlock the first booster boxes and teaser info from the manufacturer updated info!
We are now only 6.5% or $13,000 away from the first booster box being able to be produced. As was promised, we were able to reach out to the printer and get more information. They support print runs of 150 cards at a time. Upon feedback and targetted polling, this has led to the following plan that will maximize the utility both for returning and new heroes. A series of 4 booster boxes will be made available as funds are raised with the first unlocking at the $200,000 mark. To be able to address concerns that fans old and new have with distribution and probability of hits for the regions that you are searching for, boxes will be populated with sets from 3 regions plus important universal cards. Traitor's Reach cards will take a number of the slots whille leaving dozens to fill with important rereleased old cards to support the new generation of standard legal play.
The first box set to be unlocked at $200,000 will be the Naroom, Weave, and Paradwyn box with a few standard legal chase universal cards included in the mix with the rest set for inclusion in future box unlocks with the other regions. The lists are far from finalized as we have been working on this as previously announced now that we have the booster box runs constraints over the last week and 1/2, but we are prepared to release the following teasers as far as some of the standard legal chase rares that will be in the boxes: Forest Hyren, Hyren's Call, Alpine Xamf, Wasperine, Wasperine Stalker, Flourish, Spell Pulse, Ghazran, Torpar, Weed Hyren, Tropical Jumbor, Blade Hyren and many more! There is even a chance you will find some cards that were only available as promos in the first edition of printing now as rares in the sets like Rayje's Shield to increase their availability for the format. We want these boxes to get these important card both new and old sets out to you and the world so we are working with the printer to finalize the pack content, but each pack will contain at least 2 rares, 3 uncommons, and 6-7 commons with a chance at a random foil every few packs. REMEBER the special promotion for a booster box per $120 added will end once they are unlocked so if you want to lock in your cheaper rate make sure to get it added as soon as possible. MSRP on a 32 pack box looks like it will be just under $150 with packs coming in at $4.50 each. So you can get your boxes for $25-30 off retail by adding for them today or tomorrow! Only 108 more boxes at this discount would be needed (less than 1 box added per 5 current backers) to unlock it without any other items!
With the amazing plan for booster boxes how do we get the rest of the way to unlock the first one?
New PROMOs join the promos available and fill out the ranks of the bundles:
The following changes have been made to the promo lineup: the Balamants and Amulet of Ombor alt arts have been approved to take the place of their old edition cards in the Naroom and Underneath decks respectively so all backers getting those decks will get the announced alt art versions as a free upgrade. In the above picture you will see that Mobis's promo art will be used for the unreleased alt-Mobis magi stats instead of the base set version. You can see the braggle mockup in its cald frame as well. This change was made to clear a path to add much more value to your promo bundles by freeing up print slots and we are adding the above promos to the available lists. This will add Cactus Hyren, Canopy Hyren, Granite Hyren, an alt-art Omni Construct by Clurman/Goodman (the original art by Clurman/Werner will be the version in the Universal deck), a fan favorite from the Game Boy Color game JingJack is in finalization and this jackinthebox themed core creature, Sludge Hyren, and O'qua alt-tracker will all be added to the promos available immediately all without increasing the bundle addon prices!
Animite Card Promos
There will also be animite cards created for league support on the print sheet and all backers with a promo bundle will get a random value animite card for their order. All playset bundles (both standard and foil) with get the full set of all 3 animite cards in either standard or foil to match their bundles. Outside of the bundles these animite cards will only be available for achievement and league participation and will be included in store random promo bundles to support tournament play.
Secret Stretch goal promo unlocks
To celebrate, we also have a chance to add 2 more mystery magi that will be entirely new magi at the following unlock tiers: $200,000 alongside Clurman's giveaway drawing donation there will also be a promo using his art made available. It will be a previously unseen new magi to celebrate making it to $200,000 and unlocking the first booster box.
At 1/4 million ($250,000), Matt Holmberg, who is amazingly excited with how this project that means so much to him is donating the use of a custom magi he made for his favorite region:
There is a teaser for this card somewhere on official channel social accounts. The first backer to find and comment this leak will be our next super secret quest log winner for a bonus prize. Happy hunting.
So what is the current list of available promos and how many cards come if I get the standard or foil playset option?
Warrada alt art (Clurman/Goodman), rod of coals alt art (Holmberg), Mobis Alt unreleased promo (Holmberg), Vulbor (Holmberg/Tibke), Ora alt art (Holmberg), Braggle alt art (Holmberg), Relic Stalker (Holmberg), Showdown (Werner), Anastasia (Clurman/Goodman), Artimillies (Clurman/Goodman), Tony Returned (Holmberg), League Elder (Werner/Gillette), Traitor's Reach (Holmberg), Cactus Hyren (Holmberg), Sludge Hyren (Holmberg), Canopy Hyren (Holmberg), Granite Hyren (Holmberg), Omni Construct (Clurman/Goodman), Jingjack (Werner/Tate), O'qua Tracker (Holmberg). Even if we didn't get the above two secret unlock magi this puts us at 20 promos available plus one of each create a card tier promo cards created (the jingjack finalization is being paid for with one of the current 4 backers of the create a creature tier). So it will be over 25 promos with potential for even more to continue to unlock or be sponsored! That is 50+ promos with the playset addons less than $10 each for exclusive foil promos. This is a great time to edit your pledge to add the promos bundle in standard or foil or to upgrade from the prepledge trio of just Artimillies, Anastasia, and Showdown to the full set of all at a nice discount all while pushing us ever closer to $200,000 for both unlocks! Just 33-87 backers adding the promo bundles would push us over that line with no new pledges required.
Make the $300 tier special again?
Backers have been finding that as decklists have been finalizing for the regions that more and more new cards are being included as 2-3 copy sets which has pushed it to where the $300 tier would only currently get 2 copies of every deck since even any one ofs left are in two different decks still guaranteeing playsets. Since we appreciate our $300 tier backers and to get even more editions of cards available, we have chosen to split the core decklist content Twilight Mowats into one copy of the D'resh border and one Core border. Therefore, collectors wanting either border will be able to get them both in a deck, and our $300 backers will each get a 3rd core deck with your pledge to get 3 of each of the new card variant for the Twilight Mowat!
Social Goals:
We have unlocked custom magi card sleeves with 20 mention videos on Youtube and other video platforms! Custom card sleeves are now available as a $5 addon for a pack of 5 sleeves (enough for a magi stack and a few extras). If at least 30 addons are added we will unlock the moonlands map as a second design, and if it hits 50+ sets sold we will also add an option for a card sleeve designed to use the card back art.
We are now only 12 more playmats left to unlock the next playmat design too!
Giveaways?
Sorry for the tease, but you will have to wait for update Part 2 later today. This update is long enough and has so much amazing stuff we didn't want our winners to get burried. However, we do want to celebrate because all backers drawn last update still have active pledges! If we can work together to invite friends, pledge if you have not yet, or add any of the above addons and get to $200,000 before the final 7 days start in 2 days, then every single backer who has gotten their pledge in by the that day will get a $2 bonus credit in backerkit to use toward an addon of your choice or your shipping charge to celebrate. If we don't hit the goal in the next 2 days, all other unlocks will still happen but the special $2 credit for hitting it a week before the end of the campaign will not be unlocked.
Deck Boxes reveal, more giveaways, and more :)

– Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 03:12:48 PM
Status update
We are now within $35k to booster boxes! That is 125 new pledges at our current average pledge amount or for half the current backers to add an extra $120 to get the earlybird shot that will increase to full MSRP after they unlock, and with over 2 weeks left to go!
Region Box Reveal
Due to your amazing support, the team has worked together to prepare all of the deck boxes with all the regions unlocked. Highlighting actual creature cards from within themselves, these tuckboxes will look amazing in game collection, on store shelves, and anywhere in between!
Update giveaways
We have 7 more days of giveaways for everyone today, remember the earlier you pledge, if you are still just following, the more drawings you get entered into. For this week we will draw one Volcano Hyren and on Paradwyn Orangaran. Also, the winner of the $100 Arcanist's Armory Giveaway had cancelled their pledge so it will be redrawn as well.
Reminder that the old TR mockups linked above do not show the Commemorative rarity mark which will be on the cards in these decks.
Status on Social and Addon Goals:
Current videos on Youtube linking to the campaign 13/20 Magi-Nation videos without the link but within the last month 20 we are choosing to count half the videos uploaded that don't quite meet all the requirements so that puts us only 3 videos away from unlocking an addon for a pack of 5 custom card sleeves for your magi stacks!
Shares 1,000 goal has been surpassed! The Holmberg Original Braggle art teased before will be used and added to all the promo bundle packs ;)
Playmats sold 81/100 to unlock the next playmat option!
The League of Elder's Tier, Naroom deck list post, and new giveaways!
about 2 years ago
– Fri, Mar 08, 2024 at 02:37:18 PM
Hello Everyone,
While finalizing the new $10,000 tier, which is no longer tied to region unlocks (Since we are now double what we needed to unlock them all!) we had an attentive fan already pledge one and claim Universal as the first Elder of the League of Elders. So what is this tier? The pledger will get all of the items now shown in the tier and the chart, but the most exclusive item will be an exclusive League Elder card only to ever be printed with the League of Elders' tier with the border of the region of your choice and an appropriate action for the Elder in that region. The first claimed spot has already paid to have their art started for a League Elder riding a monarch hyren. Now, you may ask, why would it affect me if I don't have $10,000. And the reason is tied to the original purpose of the League Elder. Each tier that is filled will have a portion dedicated to new items and or promos to support league play. With this first pledge, all retail backers will receive a small packet of standard League Elder cards to promote tournament play and non retail backers will be able to add them to your pledges as well via the promo addons.
Now because we are only 80 shares away from the 1,000 shares social goal, here is the Holmberg original early 2000s but never revealeled cald creature from the great white north:
The region morphing Braggle card will be unlocked and created once we get 80 more shares!
We are also only 7 video uploads away from the youtube video submissions goal!
Drawings
All winners have been contacted from the first round of drawings on Monday. Since then we have banked 4 more days of daily giveaways and 3 drawn winners (both custom art pieces and a $10 promo) had cancelled pledges and are inelligible to win, so we have the following prizes to be drawn today: The $50k, 100k, and $150k art pieces. A $10 campaign promo. 1 Japanese Dan, 3 Volcano Hyrens, 3 Oranganrans, 1 bythan's gift. With that being 12 drawings and having passed 500 backers, we will also add a $100 giftcard to Arcanist's Armory to bring us to a Moonlands dozen.
Clurman and Goodman joint donated piece #1 redrawn: 72
We linked pictures of the old cards without the Moonland Hero's commemorative rarity for the Traitor's Reach cards that come new in the deck. If you like this change over last time let me know in the comments and we will keep doing it :) ot let us know if you want all of the cards for future lists linked.
OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION AND exciting news and giveaways
about 2 years ago
– Mon, Mar 04, 2024 at 10:26:45 PM
Hello Everyone,
What a wild weekend! We saw the momentary rise of the project to half a million dollars! We are working with those hoping to back to better the quality of life for the up-and-coming Magi-Nation and will give any updates as they come. As of now, we are over $128,000 funded and over halfway to booster box unlocks! With such an outpouring of community support that we have seen, we have made the decision to defer our portion of royalties on the project for the booster packs to be unlocked and recalculated. With this change, we are now able to unlock booster boxes at $200,000. We have seen your dreams, and it has inspired us more!
With all of this energy and momentum, we are also announcing the following:
Metal cards (without signatures) seen in the last update are now available as addons for $25 per individual card, $60 for a Traitor's Reach region Magi stack, or $600 for all of the Traitor's Reach Magi and the Tony, Returned card!
A full square art 12" metal Moonlands map or Tony, Returned full art are also released and available for addon for $100 each.
Want to secure your booster packs before they unlock at a discount? Add $120 to your pledge tier and for each $120 you add, you will receive a credit to make up the difference for the end price of each box. Why pledge early? Pledging $120 now will lock in your booster box at that price. So, if the final cost of a booster box were to be over the $120 mark (say $130) you would receive the $130 credit in backerkit for the price of $120, while other backers will have to pay the full $130.
Matt Holmberg, and others, are super excited for the TTRPG pdf tier and we have caught the wave of excitement. We have decided to release at least one supplement for the TTRPG, assembled by a volunteer team coordinated by Arcanist's Armory. Once the $500,000 stretch goal is unlocked, the supplement or system will be able to be enhanced and upgraded, but as of now every backer will get at least one officially endorsed system or supplement! Thank you for showing us how to shoot the Moon! Let's get to the Moonlands to stay!
But wait, there's more! We are revamping the $10,000 tier and will reveal the new and improved options by Wednesday.
We are only 28 playmats away from unlocking a third play mat option!
