  In mid-2005, a group of friends in Sydney decided to run an "Magic: The Gathering" tournament using invented cards. The program we used to generate Magic cards for that tournament we called MTG GenCard. More recently, it's been used to create some other fan-made sets, including one that features purple cards.

You can use this program, free of charge, to make your own Magic cards.

Magic (more properly called "Magic: The Gathering") is a collectible card game published by Wizards of the Coast which also publishes various other games.

MTG GenCard is a free, open-source C program released under the GPL v3. It is designed to let you create images of your own invented Magic cards. The features it supports include:

  • Takes information from (most) normal WotC text spoiler lists.
  • Magic cards in white, blue, black, red, green.
  • Lands of various mana colours, multi-coloured, and hybrid.
  • Artifacts, gold cards, and hybrid (split-colour) cards.
  • User-defined mana symbols and background colours now possible!
  • Snow mana symbol supported.
  • Split-cards, such as Fire / Ice.
  • Flip-cards, as introduced in the Kamigawa block.
  • Flip-card split-cards; yes, you can combine features.
  • Hybrid (two-colour) cards, as introduced in Ravnica.
  • Can use GIF, PNG or JPEG files as artwork sources.
  • Automatically flips and blends two artwork files for flip-cards.
  • Automatically rotates artwork files for split-cards.
  • Outputs to 32-bit PNG files in several resolutions: 300 DPI, 150 DPI, 100 DPI, 75 DPI.
  • Can output rulings files, similar to Gatherer's output.

Some current limitations:

  • Uses background artwork which is most similar to the old-style cards, 7th Edition and before.
  • Uses the old Magic font, not the new Times-like serif font. This also means text is limited to ISO Latin 1 (i.e. English + European letters), so you can't use Unicode, sorry.
  • Doesn't have the tombstone symbol used in Flashback yet.
