To play this set on Cockatrice, download the png set file (for fast connections), or the jpg set file (for slow connections) (open the page, and right click > save). In Cockatrice, use the menu Card Database > Add custom sets/cards and select the downloaded file. That's it, you're ready to go!

A set based on the SCP Foundation, a collection of stories about anomalous entities in the form scientific document describing the entities, their containment procedure, and their history.
I very much use a top down design, my primary goals is creating a card whose flavor represents the various SCPs and other elements of the foundation.
This is set is not meant to be draftable, for constructed play only. I plan on making preconstructed "duel decks" later down the line.

The SCP article on which the card is based on is written in the card code text. (Elem.) is specified if the card doesn’t represent the SCP directly, but another part of its narrative. A star ★ in the card code text indicate articles that I personally found particuarly interesting (purely a taste judgement).

All cards with an art marked (edited) have been edited (by me) to better fit the depicted element, or card colors.
Artworks marked [TEMP] (in the artist field) may be temporary

Silver bordered cards comes from joke article (SCP-J and the such).

Current set mechanics includes:

  • Elusive (If ~ would die, you may return it on the top of its owner's library instead.) > For SCPs that teleports around, making their containment impossible

New types:

  • Researcher
  • Psychic (telekinesists and reality benders)
  • Pinniped (because I wasn’t comfortable classifying a seal as a fish)
  • Opossum
  • Raccoon (already appeared in an un set)
  • Kangaroo (already appeared in an un set)
  • Beaver (already appeared in an un set)

The Mystery mechanic (Solve for Bear) was created by squidpizza Special thanks to Cajun for the awesome work on the MSE Mainframes!

The Likeable Update

All the articles with 1000 upvotes or more (as of yet) are done. Except for djkaktus's Proposal III because it's an extremely long one.

Some cards have now my personal recommendation, for articles that I found particularly interesting. Those are denoted by a ★ in the card code text.
