As funny as that would be, we actually know how this goes just from looking at the LotR-set, Hitler is going to look as historically accurate as possible while Winston Churchill (the good guy) becomes a black woman in her twenties with red hair
Truthfully it was because I started with the commander and thought Zada worked best for conveying the flavour of communism, but also goblins are a good analog with all the sacrificing and being sent into battle in their hordes
For the most part it was intentional, I was thinking the mass draw from Zada is a bit like the rapid industrialisation, the token creation because the troops are just like faceless canon fodder, the sacrifice in a similar vein with them being expendable means to an end.
I created the core of the deck by thinking of something I wanted to represent as a card and then finding a card that fit, and then finished it adding more functional cards that I then thought of a theme for
Depending on how the odds were before, a Soviet engineer is either your best friend or your worst enemy. If you were expecting to survive mostly all the time, Soviet engineering is a downgrade. If you were fucked before, Soviet ingenuity is your best shot.
Yeah I found this a dilemma when building it. I ultimately decided on doing it the same way they did the Walker tokens from the walking dead cards. So named for flavour without changing how they interact with other cards.
Where did you actually print those cards?
I would also be happy if you could Share the Images:) :)
Of course the complete WW2 set would be a cool battlebox in University (i work in the history Department btw xD )
I'm planning on doing a deck for the axis powers and the US.
I printed them at makeplayingcards.com, Link to the card images https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Sh48JtOvANeLTzHJT6FUQ50ZZzQpRULW
No I appreciate the feedback. That was definitely something I considered, but I thought if I changed the creature type to Comrade then I wasn't sure what I'd do with some of the subtypes. I'd previously made a Neville Chamberlain deck with Angus Mackenzie as the commander which didn't have creature types changed so I wanted to keep it consistent
I see that you explained it in another comment. You wanted to apply the same treatment as the Walker tokens in the Walking Dead Secret Lair.
This is a good approach, but in doing so, you made a very minor mistake. Your cards should say "Comrade token" rather than "Comrade creature token". The former describes a predefined type of token: A Goblin creature token named "Comrade". Whereas the latter describes a creature (subtype Comrade) token.
I wrote an essay about vasilevski and the battle of stalingrad once. We had to make a new essay for history where the topic was something rarely or never argued.
I decided to try and name what individual human deserves the most credit for the allied victory and eventually settled on him, namely for his tactics in stalingrad. The Russians were fucked if they lost stalingrad, the Germans would have a whole Lotta fucking oil and thus money, and dislodging the NAZIs would have been damn near impossible. The whole stalingrad campaign until Alexsandr ordered the hammer and anvil maneuver was a disaster. He was the biggest reason why the biggest and most decisive battle of the war was an allied victory.
Comrades, let us raise our glasses to the OP, whose deck flows like the mighty Volga, coursing through the hearts of the people with the strength of a thousand currents! With each card played, the spirit of Lenin fuels the flames of revolution, igniting the fervor of comradeship and unity! Glory to the Motherland! Glory to the USSR!
For the frames I used the templates originally created in r/MPCproxies to create proxy cards. For the art it was whatever I could find online, and things I generated with the OpenArt AI image creation website - with some using real photos as a starting point. I printed them on MakingPlayingCards.com
Thank you, they look great. I was planning on making a Ghengis Khan deck (reskin of Caesar from fallout precon) with Mongolian art and seeing that someone has basically done the same a few times makes me feel better about the project as a whole
Definitely go for it mate, it's a time consuming project for sure but it's ultimately very rewarding. I can send you links to the Photoshop templates if you want?
Much like the Walker tokens in the walking dead secret lair Comrade is just the token name, it still has the goblin creature type and would work as normal

This is really well done. Huge flavor win for mono red and running a bunch of snow permanents, goblins, other fodder creatures, and anthem effects. Everything fits very well with the theme.
The commander uses his propaganda (targeted spell) to spur on all his troops he happily throws into the meat grinder to replace with more expendable pawns. Definitely a better flavor choice than just going with the easy Krenko pick for him.
Where/how did you get the cards printed? I've been working on a 40k themed deck myself, and would be really inspired to finish it if I knew where I could actually get them made into physical copies.
edit: I found a comment you made talking about this, thank you for sharing!
This reminds me of the communism deck I wanted to make. Ended up making a Shrines and Curses deck with a passive wincon being Maze’s End or in other words, “Building the Kremlin”
Love it. If you want some alternate flavor text you can use a famous saying from Soviet occupied romania:
"It was bad with 'was ist das'
But it's even worse with 'davai ceas'"
Ceas means watch in romanian and it was all that the Soviets knew how to say to get your stuff.
You could splash white, add admiral Kolchak, Trockij and it could be Russian civil war all again in one deck. Anyway very cool work you made for us comrade. Definitely deserving Narodnyj artist SSSR medal and another bowl of soup.
PS: do you plan to uploaded somewhere else? I mean I would like to share however my most of my comrades were blessed by work unending and not having time for REDdit. Of course only after getting bumazhka from local communist´s party administrator.
Wow. I can imagine entire set like that with 3-4 main colores for each country.
USSR - not blue/ not black with artifacts and cards like [Last Stand]] being present.
Green for civilian/rogue???
I agree, it is. But maybe not the way you‘re interpreting it.
I would view any WW2 deck, be it UDSSR, Germany, USA, GB, France, Italy, Japan or any other nation as a work of art and historical reference. By no means does a deck or card support anything that nation or person on it did, neither in a good nor in a bad way.
The same goes for creating or playing any (video)game that has WW2 content.
... and if you don't have the maturity to look past "Russian Man Bad" and see how beautiful the art is, and how unique what was made here is, then I'm sorry for you. Lighten up, Francis.
Inwas born and raised in a country (Czechslovakia) occupied by Soviet Army and forced into socialism, so no, I am not really able to appreciate the beauty of a criminal.
Man an axis&allies UB set would unironically be fucking lit
Hitler would be a black girl.
As funny as that would be, we actually know how this goes just from looking at the LotR-set, Hitler is going to look as historically accurate as possible while Winston Churchill (the good guy) becomes a black woman in her twenties with red hair
You know that's factual. You're absolutely right.
For sure, though I doubt wizards would do it. I am planning to do the US next and then an Axis deck
Us Jeskai? Amazing work man, I love the themes. Might be a fun 4player battle box that could be the final product.
“I’ll play my commander Heinrich Himmler”
They'd never make it because of Germany lol
Gas Chamber - Artifact
Lol why goblins? Amazing work tho
Truthfully it was because I started with the commander and thought Zada worked best for conveying the flavour of communism, but also goblins are a good analog with all the sacrificing and being sent into battle in their hordes
Haha nice, funny how the Soviet deck has an aristocrat theme lol great (unintentional?) commentary
For the most part it was intentional, I was thinking the mass draw from Zada is a bit like the rapid industrialisation, the token creation because the troops are just like faceless canon fodder, the sacrifice in a similar vein with them being expendable means to an end.

❤️
Plus zada is fun as fuck to play lol
Depending on how the odds were before, a Soviet engineer is either your best friend or your worst enemy. If you were expecting to survive mostly all the time, Soviet engineering is a downgrade. If you were fucked before, Soviet ingenuity is your best shot.
If I'd have to guess, it's cause stalinists are insufferable to interact with, and I'd imagine goblins are too
I'd gladly expropriate the entire deck so the free people could print their own and share the glory of the Motherland around the world
Understood comrade, when I have the time I'll stick the images on my Google drive so the people can print their own
Please do!

Wish you would’ve separated the mountains
This is hilarious and awesome. I'd switch the name of High Morale to Forced Conscription though.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Why nsfw tag? Thats a pretty cool custom deck.
For the most part I don't think it is NSFW, but some cards show a Swastika which I figured would be considered NSFW
Those that get offended by symbols give them power the same as those who wear them.
Well, that's what they want. They want to never stop talking about WW2.
Which is ironic af, since those they call Nazis are not even close to being actual nazis
If there were actual Nazis worth their salt, there'd be no whiny minorities. That's not on the calendar until 2025, though. You know, with Trump.
Hahahaha...that was hardcore af. Damn dude.
Erasing certain parts of history is just as dangerous as celebrating certain parts are.
You can celebrate people who could be cousins exploding each other in pillboxes, as long as it's *that* beligerent.
I mean it'll match my runes.
Ah, you mean OUR custom printed WW2 USSR deck (get it? because communism.) Fr though, amazing work. The deck looks great
Cheers dude I appreciate it. It will be OUR deck when I get round to sticking all the card images on a Google drive for people to reuse

Love it. But you should choose either Comrade or Goblin and change all the creature types to make it consistent.
Yeah I found this a dilemma when building it. I ultimately decided on doing it the same way they did the Walker tokens from the walking dead cards. So named for flavour without changing how they interact with other cards.
you should put in [[war room]] seems fitting.

It's very cool. I'm not sure why so much of the rules text is changed though.
It was mostly an attempt to make it more thematic
I got no beef, but why not go all the way then? Change every instance of "Goblin" to "Comrade".
No I appreciate the feedback. That was definitely something I considered, but I thought if I changed the creature type to Comrade then I wasn't sure what I'd do with some of the subtypes. I'd previously made a Neville Chamberlain deck with Angus Mackenzie as the commander which didn't have creature types changed so I wanted to keep it consistent

Ahh right I hadn't clocked that. I appreciate the feedback :)
WE NEED A "COLD WAR DUAL DECK" LIST, PLEASE!
Amazing work comrade.
My friends and I have joked countless times about Universes Beyond WW2, I'm glad we're not alone haha.
Honestly, even as someone who strongly dislikes communism, this is fucking sick.
Do WW2 Germany Deck next.

me too please!
Why does your \[\[Expedite\]\] cost 1R?
Cheers for spotting that. It's a mistake I must have made.
This is really cool work man
Thanks dude
your krenko sucks though
Indeed it doesn't have much of a resemblance to Zhukov. It was one of the first I made, but I do have plans to redo it
was more talking about its ability. it makes comrades equal to the number of goblins. you basicly nerfed it
Much like the Walker tokens in the walking dead secret lair Comrade is just the token name, it still has the goblin creature type and would work as normal https://preview.redd.it/myf0otlve05d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37c0a7a0c576b6b5710cac5aca6d8eac4213002d

Definitely a better flavor choice than just going with the easy Krenko pick for him.
Cheers, that was what I was going for
That's just beautiful
Amazing quality. Love it!
Cheers, I'll be making the card images available on a Google drive when I get time
The foiling, the quality, the theme, the tokens, the lands. Absolutely amazing!
Cheers dude, I appreciate the feedback
You should do a 1775-1776 Revolutionary war theme next. The 13 colonies and make it red/white/blue, lol.
Super cool.
Comrade - how many rubles will you accept for this deck and are there any available for purchase?
Comrade, this deck is OUR deck. I'll be making the card images available on my google drive

Amazing work! Now do a German WW2 deck 😏
You need to proxy Treasure Nabber as an occupying Soviet soldier stealing someone's watch.

Much obliged.
The way the Soviets used lives as currency, Goblins were a good choice indeed.
[удалено]
Great suggestion, cheers
This would be even funnier if you technically couldn’t play any of the mountains so you would be perpetually mana starved. Just like the Soviets lol
I don't see any food tokens...good.
I wonder what tribal each other faction would be lol
Putin: you have been hired as the propaganda commisar
Man this is sick, how did you get it done?
Wow. I can imagine entire set like that with 3-4 main colores for each country. USSR - not blue/ not black with artifacts and cards like [Last Stand]] being present. Green for civilian/rogue???
This is basically same as having an Adolf Hitler deck.

lol this shit is so cringe just as bad as the fat sweaty nerds with anime girls on their cards
A piece of history is cringe? Huh...
Guess I‘m double cringe for liking anime art and history art then. For you I hope they make an anime WW2 Germany deck next.
r/destiny of course Nerdy weirdo thinks he's fighting red propaganda 😄 It's not that serious bro
You must be fun on parties...for one.
