I'm going to boost this topic, given that it's fallen tragically off the front page.

Let me know if you have suggestions for collections or categories! I would especially love to find more "arthouse" collections, especially those with a message behind its selected works.

I´d say, this one https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... ction=8218 is a very nice and pretty one...

Since my flag is a tree, I might as well fit it by making a forest-themed collection:

A bit expensive, but it's aesthetically pleasing. I appreciate what nature offers

It's nice, but I can't include it unless I know what it's for. Is it just the collector's favorites? Is he trying to convey a message? If so, I would like to put in Arthouse - as soon as I have an explanation.

Very nice! Although you seem to be missing at least one.... ;)

To me it seems like a gallery of paintings...and, since the title (gallery) says so....

Nearly complete, this collection houses nations that have received a Commendation from the World Assembly.

Good news. Samudera finally managed to get all the commended cards. Might wanna change this bit to match the new info.

A bit small, and seems to be basically a "favorites" collection...

That's great! I'll edit it right away!

It really is a pain to scroll through and pick cards for a collection, isn't it? We really need a few ways to sort the list - at least by ranks.
Are you planning on acquiring more commons that aren't ex-nations? I only found one in there with a real flag.

Yes!!! I just am slowly chugging though my lists I haven't hit the puppets I have in there and I will be expanding my buys to all commons not just ex nations and pups (Cuz I need more to spend money on :P)

Was trying to get yours. Finally managed to pull one!




Btw, here's some more decks you might note of:

https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... ballotonia

An in-progress list of every issue author in the game.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... n=samudera

A small, but complete repository of all nations condemned by the WA.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... rain_delay

A reference point as to who participates in card trading. Notably, you don't need to have a high deck value to be added; just be (at some point) active enough to be noticed by others in the card game.

With 9003's Common collection and Karen Matheson's UR collection, I have added a new category: Rank-Based Collections. At most, six collections will be allowed here, one for each rank. Anyone got a sizeable collection of Epics, Rares, or Uncommons laying about?

It's not really a collection but Guard Captain's deck has the most Unique epics I've seen so far.

If he's willing to make a collection with one of each, I might put it up (a simple but tedious task, since he has only epics). As it stands, I have no idea how much he has relative to Wop, who is currently listed as the epics record-holder.

Does anyone know of more car collections?
I'm currently doing the "Projects" one and I would like to have a look at other car themed cards.

Alright its not technically over 500 but 494 is still definitely the largest anime collection. https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/collection=5780
If your set on the over 500 I'll have to wait for my legendaries to sell to upgrade my storage.

Bookends: First and Last Cards of Season 1.

It's a small collection, but it's unique as of now. Only two players can accomplish it, because there's only two copies left of the last card in Season 1.

I have 1754 unique epics compared to his 1700, i'm still beating him :P I'll make a collection after farming.

Edit: Guard Captain is mine.
