Q: What are ways to protect my Leader?
A: Our acrylic cases, protect from any potential wear overtime. DO NOT use plastic penny sleeves to put your metal leader in. There is a chemical byproduct on the inside of the sleeves that break down the bonding agent on the metal, that can cause damage to the Leader. If you do not want to use a case, they are fine with no protection, just treat them with care.

Q: I subscribed to the Patreon and are ready for my commission request. What do i do next?
A : There are a couple of guidelines when commissioning a Leader.
1. Leader requests must be a character that belongs to the card game of choice [eg One piece leader must be a One Piece Character].
2. You can request themes of that character [eg star wars, special clothes]; references really help.
3. There will be a que, as each commission requires artists to draw them, there will be a commission open phase and closed phase. You will be able to see the art for approval before it is designed into the card.
4. No Custom Leaders that don't exist in the game. Typing up new text for leaders can get out of hand. You must choose a Leader that exists in their respective game.
5. When the custom Leader is ready for production, there will be a limited quantity available under the "Commissions" section for others to buy. This will be a short window and created specifically to help alleviate production costs.
6. Commission Fee's are required before starting the drawing phase. If you would like to tip the artist, please let me know, after seeing the final draft, and we can arrange that!
7. IF you commission your own artist to draw a design for a custom leader, it must be at minimum 300DPI, line art layers separated from art, and a minimum of 4 in x 3in.
