In celebration of the Astral Entities presale, I’ll be highlighting some of the different cards currently available. The ones shown here are the gold foils from sets, but you can get the same cards without gold foil in packs as well.

If you don’t know what Astral Entities is, you can read more about it in a post I made before the presale started here.
Today I’ll be showing off some of the Giant cards from tier 1 to tier 5.
As we look at the Giant race I wanted to talk about another facet of Astral Entities that I really like. The way they treat their artists. Here we have the tier 1 Giant warrior, grunt. He starts with high Might, and Vitality as you would expect along with the traits massive, and tough.
Tier 2 of the warrior class brute is a good example of what I wanted to talk about in regards to the project's artists. You may have noticed, but each race is drawn consistently. That’s because Astral Entities has hired one artist for each race. The Giant here is looking more ready for battle and gives me some Solomon Grundy vibes from Batman. Very cool.
As always tire 3 adds a new trait, and again we can see how the art remains consistent even though the class has changed to the trickster. Another cool thing is that the project has set up a way for their artists to continue earning even after they no longer work with the project.
Hella Rad Games does this by paying artists from the fee earned when a card is traded, so if you sell your tier 5 Giant to someone on Wax a portion of that sell goes to the artist even years after the original card was minted.
Here we have another cool, and powerful tier 5 card, despoiler. The way these cards consistently change and grow from tier to tier is always really cool to me. If you are a fan of the way this project is doing artwork, and/or think you would like to do some art for them one day, you should jump over to the discord and say hi. They are done with this set, but as they release games they will need to put out new cards in the future.
If you like the cards you see, you should jump on the projects Discord Channel As of this writing the presale is still live so there is still time to get a pack, or set.
