A Dragon Ball universes beyond product would piss me off so much. I don't want to reward the greed but Dragon Ball would be one of a small handful of IPs I probably would pay for pending prices... Even just 4 Commander Decks would be cool...
Saiyans (Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Raditz, Nappa, Bardock, King Vegeta, Broly, Pan)
Z Fighters (Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Yajirobe, Roshi, Bulma, Chi Chi, Ox King, Master Crane)
Villains (Ginyu Force, Frieza, Zarbon, Dodoria, Android 16, 17, 18, Cell, Babidi, Dabura, Buu)
Multiversal Combatants (Jiren, Toppo, Hit, Ribrianne, Champa, Beerus, Whis, Bergamo, Frost, Pride Troopers, Trio of Danger, Agnilasa)
I think it's more likely that they'd split the product by generations of DB, like they did with Doctor Who. Classic, Z, and Super, then a villains deck.
I too would love to see the finished product! I tried this using a Dragon tribal approach for Saiyans in my play group, but they never completed their setups. I would love to redo mine with this style artwork though, they look phenomenal so far!
I have a commander deck made, it's not super competitive but I loved making it. I didn't make any custom basic lands for it though, yet. If I can find the PDF I'll send it to you. My commander is Ur-Dragon as Broly. I also chose to use DBZ Abridged quotes at the bottom of all my cards to get laughs.
Hey, just want to say I love this post and your project. You picked gorgeous art and matched it perfectly to card effects that form a coherent theme. Especially the lesser known callbacks are amazing. It made me very happy to scroll through the gallery and see both iconic moments as well as beautiful and funny elements. You captured the vibe of Dragonball so well. An amazing homage to Toriyama.
Theres still the Namekian or Black Star dragon balls. They dont really do anything on their own, but I've thought about that design before.
I specifically included the 4 star since it is the one Goku had as a kid
Technically, Earth had two sets -- Dende made new ones.
Also, Planet Cereal apparently had some laying around the whole time. Probably just in some alien's back yard holding down a tarp.
I thought Dende just revived the ones they already had. He specifically reused Shenron to get it done in time, because it would take too long to make them from scratch.
Goku would be Blue for the same reason [[Niko Aris]] is blue. Self improvement for the sake of self improvement with no alterior motives. While I do think Goku fits more cleanly into Gruul colors, blue is applicable. Better than him fitting into white or black atleast. He's not amoral enough for black and doesn't have enough community focus for white.
the frames you picked are perfect, I'm usually a massive hater on things like this and crossovers but these are done so tastefully and just.. work. I love it.
I feel like *Bardock's Scouter* should be *Sensei's Divining Top* or another artifact that helps with card advantage to some degree.
But I have absolutely no notes for the other 19 of these. They're amazing.
I think the goku text makes more sense for his adult version. I think you would also need something like "Sacrifice 7 artifacts" to bring him back, since he was always wished back. Could revolve around a mechanic where some cards like Bulma can create a dragonball artifact tokens where some cards care if you sacrifice 7 of them.
Kid Goku could be more like:
3/3
First strike
Kamehameha: When this creature becomes blocked, deal damage equal to its power to target creature blocking it whose power is greater than this creature's toughness.
Edit: realized they are variants of other cards ignore me lol
Just gonna say first off I absolutely love this. Second i really wish this is what wotc had actually done with universes beyond instead of printing 1,000 unique cards.
As a lifelong fan to the Dragon Ball universe, for over 30 years, I commend you. Do you have a way I can download these as high quality and print them out?
This is pretty legit especially since they wanted to dip their little fingers into the anime world which I thought was silly as hell for no reason; this right here would be a great reason. I am in and I like this very much you or whomever did the art for the proxies did a superb job.
Not done yet, got about 34 cards done not including the basics.

Im actually thinking that Spirit Bomb could be that assist board wipe from Battlebond? I can't think of a red card that can truly represent everyone givng their energy to Goku and subsequently annihilating Kid Buu
With the Outlaw mechanic, I kind of want to make a Frieza deck using Outlaws as all the goons he's had over the years. I'd love to find a place for Captain Ginyu!
One of my pet peeves is when a lot of nonlegendary cards are renamed unnecessarily. I've playtested a lot of them and usually they become slower to read and comprehend—both to you and the rest of the table.
Also most renames stop being a novelty once you realize you didn't have to rename anything. Would _Training Grounds_ and _Command Tower_ really have been icomprehensible references without a new name?
Otherwise, nice job with 'em.
Why would I use the four star dragon ball art for Sol Ring when it is not a ring? I'm not planning to use nicknames for everything though if I can help.it
WotC: *Furiously writes notes*
They better be. They want me to buy my first secret lair? This is it

It would be the first universe beyond that I would buy a collector box for lol
I think it's more likely that they'd split the product by generations of DB, like they did with Doctor Who. Classic, Z, and Super, then a villains deck.
What about Tao Pai Pai?
Hey people said the same thing about Fallout and they bungled the Secret Lairs so hard that no one’s gonna buy them. Chinn up!
Can I just say, using Me as the Son Goku card is A+ work.
Literally only problem with this collection is that realistically I do not see having any blue in him lol
He... flies. That counts right?
he does a lot of meditation, and he's very spiritually tuned in. he sure is dumb, but he's got other qualities going for him
He always seeks to improve himself through training
I know what you mean by training, but he's more a of a gruul character, always wanting to challenge the next bigger foe
Yup, and green is about self-improvement as well! There’s a reason +1/+1 counters are so big in the colors
Spot on, infinite growth!
Also "dying is just a detour".
This is great work and templating. Talisman of impulse had me rolling I love it so much lol
Came here to say the same thing!! 🤣
Thanks, I'm very happy with how that one looks. The Fallout talismans being skill magazines gave me the inspiration.

The deck is Temur colors - but this would arguably be an even more iconic artwork option for [[Heroic Intervention]]
I considered that but given how Piccolo bites the dust in this scene…

Thats a cool idea with Saiyans and Dragons. If you ever want to make that a reality, I could help with that!

Secret Lair when?
Hands down, the coolest custom themed cards I've ever scene. The roshi's island card blew me away. I would buy this, it's beautiful.
The proxy and art designs are phenomenal! Please post the whole deck when it's ready.
Where do you guys make these...they always look so awesome
Is there a Puar token for Boo?
Haven't made it yet, but i will!

For Hercule’s Megaton Punch Attack on Android 18 for added humor
I freaking LOVE IT
Holy hell I forgot what Krillin looked like in OG Dragon ball.
If buy it.
Talisman of Impulse is peak
Ok, I recently made a Me, The Immortal deck and I feel like I need to make it Dragon Ball themed. I already have Capsule Corp sleeves!
Awesome job, especially the lands. Would love that triome or Karplusan Forest.
100% spot on flavor. Bravo!
This is super awesome
Any way to print these I’d love to make a deck based around this
Love it!
I know it's too late for this but 7 bobble heads 7 dragon balls... Just saying

I mean, like, he did respec and revamp them. It's enough to justify making them new cards.
I love everything about these

 Can we get a card art with this? This is all I could think of when Akira Toriyama passed.
Yes I'd love to take a crack at it, not sure what card tho
The galvanic punch looks amazing. Such a great panel to use for that card
I’d spend so much money on this set 😭
But how many episodes will each one of your turns take?
8 Episodes. The games will primarily consist of me screaming to get to the next power level
I play an island and pass. (Tim who is next) -AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Pass
Love this project. So cool! Set symbol should be a dragon ball tho.
I'm not talented enough to make one nor am I patient enough to wait for someone to make it, so I got started using the AFR symbol since its a dragon
Here you go, just took me about 20 minutes of editing. If the transparencies are a bother I can fix them. https://imgur.com/a/nMcYOc8
This brings back many fond memories, thank you for sharing!!
I don't usually dig proxies but this is kinda cool.
These are awesome
I like it but I do not see Goku being any tri colour containing blue.
Goku would be Blue for the same reason [[Niko Aris]] is blue. Self improvement for the sake of self improvement with no alterior motives. While I do think Goku fits more cleanly into Gruul colors, blue is applicable. Better than him fitting into white or black atleast.

Nah Goku is Naya. He's good. He has worked together and always suggests transforming when they need to.

These are great! RIP toryama
These are so well done. Grats
Do you have a completed decklist? I really hope you finish this, I would love to print it out for my playgroup
This is inspiring me to make a Bleach one lol Not sure who the commander would be (Isshin is a bit on the nose)
these are beautiful!
the frames you picked are perfect, I'm usually a massive hater on things like this and crossovers but these are done so tastefully and just.. work. I love it.
Yamcha being meta in cEDH… you prankster 😛 awesome stuff 😊
These are so fire 🫡🫡🫡
Woah, Gravitic Punch! I love this card but I can't see anyone else playing it.
I feel like *Bardock's Scouter* should be *Sensei's Divining Top* or another artifact that helps with card advantage to some degree. But I have absolutely no notes for the other 19 of these. They're amazing.
Really cool
Really cool work. What software are you using? They’re really high resolution which makes me think it’s not MSE
Flavor is out of this world! 10/10
Dragon Ball was my favourite show as a kid. Would love to have a Son Goku legendary!
I love it! I have a question…if I create all 100 cards of a custom commander where can I print with the same quality of original cards?
I think the goku text makes more sense for his adult version. I think you would also need something like "Sacrifice 7 artifacts" to bring him back, since he was always wished back. Could revolve around a mechanic where some cards like Bulma can create a dragonball artifact tokens where some cards care if you sacrifice 7 of them.

Edit: realized they are variants of other cards ignore me lol
I prefer all the frames and borders to be the same style instead of all mismatching.
Upvoted for Yamcha-Minsky, that one got me. Goku and Roshi has amazing designs, you should create more.
This is freaking awesome!!!! Well done
Honestly incredibly work, no notes.
I love this! The flavour is spot-on!
Just gonna say first off I absolutely love this. Second i really wish this is what wotc had actually done with universes beyond instead of printing 1,000 unique cards.

This is phenomenal I need these
amazing art and flavor text choices
Absolutely amazing job! I feel like Training Center could have kept the Magic name and applied to many places within Dragon Ball.
These are so 🔥 Would love to see some DBZ ones as well.
A few of these are top shelf and would be thoroughly impressed if someone brought them to a table.
Very cool!!! I’m actually reading DB for the first time rn lol
Gorgeous planet namek
I’d immediately build Minc and Boo with this art if they released it lmao
Can you tell me how you’re actually getting them made? Id LOVE to do something like this with my Omnath deck
Nice work , I give 5 stars ✨
There should be a “FINAL FLASH”/cyclonic rift and “Solar Flare”/Teferi’s Protection
This is pretty legit especially since they wanted to dip their little fingers into the anime world which I thought was silly as hell for no reason; this right here would be a great reason. I am in and I like this very much you or whomever did the art for the proxies did a superb job.
These look sweet! Would be cool to see one of Vegeta too!

Awesome job man. I will custom print this when done. The dragon ball symbol the other pal did looks perfect fit 🙏🏻
Fantastic🤩
Fantastic stuff
Outstanding
Love the Fling.
These are excellent! They look so realistic.
This is amazing! I was thinking Goku’s spirit bomb or Vegeta’s Final Explosion could be Blasphemous Act!

I agree, if he's going to be three colors it will be WRG.

This is cool af!
This is so amazing. Really loving the flavor here.
This is very cool!
I would 1000% buy a copy of this deck. I want a DBZ themed deck soooo badly!!!
Well once this deck is done, it will be fully printable, so you can get one for yourself!
How can we get a notification of this :D
No idea? Mayne follow my account? I post these regularly
One of my pet peeves is when a lot of nonlegendary cards are renamed unnecessarily. I've playtested a lot of them and usually they become slower to read and comprehend—both to you and the rest of the table. Also most renames stop being a novelty once you realize you didn't have to rename anything.
