For those of you who are familiar with Magic: The Gathering, and ever wanted to see what a G.I. Joe theme set would look like? HISSTANK.com has just released the first 62 cards to the fist ever G.I. Joe Battle Ground card game. The game uses the same rules as MTG, but has the awesome lore and art of G.I. Joe vs Cobra. This fan made set will grow over time, and we welcome all custom cards to the game that are balanced MTG legal.

This looks cool! I did not have the patience to learn magic, but seeing all that gijoe art would make it worthwhile.

This looks like a neat idea. I browsed some of the cards and they seem waaaayyyy too powerful compared to the magic cards I used to play. I haven't played magic in over a decade though, so I really have no idea what the newer cards are like.
Also, you might want to change the cards so that they don't look exactly like MTG cards. Wizards of the Coast might sue you if you use their exact symbols and format.

I might get them if they have some awesome cool Joe artwork on the cards. Otherwise I would skip them. I mean, I'm already enough of a stereotype. Get a card game (that isn't poker) and move back in with my parents and it'll be complete lol.

Cool G.i. Joe cards.
SD Clutch says
I have never played MTG but I would play this with my daughter and nephews. Kickstarter would be the way to go with this.
DESTRO says
It's not meant to be sold. It's just a way to proxy MTG cards as G.I. Joe vs Cobra. You never know, Hasbro has the power to do whatever they want in the future. It would be nice to get a card game with ongoing support. The days of the web make it much more viable.

Awesome, I would definitely buy them if made into a product!
viperlord says
I hate to be that guy but "Ariel" should be "Aerial".
Looks interesting though.

This looks great and I imagine it would be a lot of fun. I haven't played with any of the new magic cards from the past 12-13 years, but I did really enjoy seeing GI JOE themed cards with great artwork and flavor text.
I would love to print out a copy or purchase a set of these just for the ephemera binders, and playing would just be a awesome bonus
