Do you ship to the EU?

Yes! We are now shipping to our friends and fiends in Europe. However due to the s*** UK government orders to the EU can be subject to hidden VAT and customs fees that are out of our control.

When are orders dispatched?

Orders are dispatched weekly. Our resident goblin embarks on the solemn quest to deliver your destined parcels.

What’s the deal with all these card types?

• CLASSICS - The Tragic bread and butter. Embellished with a holographic reverse to blind your enemies.

• FOILS - Pretty self explanatory, nice and shiny all over.

• FIRST EDITIONS - The first cards we ever got printed, black gloss on black reverse. Very rare, once they’re gone they’re gone.

Can I request any card swaps in my order?

No way, no style! But you can talk swapsies with other Tragics over on our reddit.

Do you do any proxies?

Yes. You can have access to all of our proxies to print and play at will if you subscribe to our Ko-fi page.

Do you offer returns/refunds?

Yes, for our cards, most likely! Email us tragicsaddening@gmail.com

Unfortunately for our clothing we cannot offer returns or refunds as these are printed on demand with specific sizes.

How do you make your Tragic: The Saddening card art?

We’re graphic designers by trade, and everything we make is designed by us — from games and packaging to clothing, card layouts, typography, icons and all the other bits in between.

For some of our Tragic: The Saddening cards we use AI to help us with the middle card artwork square.

For those images, AI is one tool within a much broader design process, similar to using stock imagery, textures, photography or 3D renders as raw material. The artwork is then edited, reworked and refined by us in Photoshop through a process of cutting, layering, repainting, compositing and colour work.

AI doesn’t create the finished card. The concepts, surrounding frames, typography, icons, layouts and overall card designs are all made by us from scratch.

We make a lot of these cards and try to keep them affordable, which wouldn’t really be possible through a traditional commissioning process for every individual piece. That said, we’re always open to collaborating with artists and using commissioned artwork too.

Everything else we make is AI-free.

Do you do commissions?

We certainly do! Transform your beloved band, song, album, friend, or pet into a heart-wrenching Tragic: The Saddening card! 💀 Commission a custom piece and receive a stunning high-resolution PDF that's ready to print at 100% for all your proxy needs.
