# Fantasy Trading Cards These Game of Thrones Magic the Gathering Cards Were Made by a Fan By M | Published 2014-08-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering References: [reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/2dig15/all_spoilers_a_while_ago_i_posted_the_first_few/) & [imgur](http://imgur.com/a/DqHoa) [Reddit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reddit-introduced) user Agitated Badger created these amazing [Game of Thrones trading cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trading-card-game-1) in the style of Magic the Gathering for fans of the popular [HBO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-thrones-x-pandora) show to enjoy and play with. These unbelievably realistic fan-made cards cleverly pay tribute to the historic and bloody plot lines of Game of Thrones by turning the world of Westeros into a card game. Each card is dedicated to a different character from the show with accompanying strengths, weaknesses and battle moves. Fans of the show can print these cards out and battle them against one another for a fun-filled game. Agitated Badger has currently created 200 cards in total and hopes to one day make a grand total of 360 cards to create a complete Magic the Gathering deck. Hopefully one day the deck will be sold in stores. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fan-made Trading Cards:** Creating customized trading cards for fans of popular shows or franchises to enjoy and play with, tapping into the enthusiasm of dedicated fan bases. - **Crossover Gaming:** Blending different gaming formats, such as combining elements of trading card games, like Magic the Gathering, with popular TV shows or movies to create unique gameplay experiences. - **Print-and-play Games:** Offering printable game components that can be easily accessed and used by fans, allowing them to engage in the gaming experience without the need for physical products or specialized equipment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Incorporating fan-created content and merchandise into the entertainment industry, offering new ways for fans to engage with their favorite shows or franchises. - **Gaming:** Integrating elements of popular TV shows or movies into gaming experiences, attracting fans of both mediums and generating excitement and interest in both industries. - **E-commerce:** Creating opportunities for selling fan-created merchandise, like custom trading cards, through online platforms or dedicated marketplaces, catering to the demand of passionate fans and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streetwear-Influenced Trading Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-4.md) - [Magic-Themed Card Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-harry-potter.md) - [Phygital Trading Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptomages-trading-card-game.md) - [Animal-Themed Game Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-1.md) - [Indie Game Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck.md) - [Witchy Series-Inspired Tarot Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agatha-all-along-2.md) - [Fantasy-Themed Beer Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikkeller.md) - [Advanced Mobile Card-Collecting Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mtg-arena.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-x-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles.md)
