Epics DAO Unveils Fire-Element Magic Card Designs for Its Solana NFT Card Game, Alongside Improvements to Card Visibility

Epics DAO, operated by ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki), has unveiled the design of Fire-element magic cards included in the Buidlers Guild Alpha of its NFT competitive card game “Buidlers Guild.” At the same time, updates have been applied to the card name and card type display boxes, improving visibility across both the card list view and the card detail view.

The contents of this announcement can be viewed on the official Buidlers Guild NFT Card List page. On the card list, cards can be browsed in an overview format, and by selecting an individual card, its details can be examined in the card detail view.

The Fire-element magic cards released in this update are part of the broader set of magic cards in Buidlers Guild and are primarily characterized by effects that interact with multiple targets or influence the overall state of the battlefield. Buidlers Guild is designed with an emphasis not on the standalone strength of individual cards, but on how the roles of cards affect decision-making during matches. Within this framework, Fire-element magic cards are positioned as options that exert a direct and immediate impact on the flow of a game.

On the card list page, these cards can be reviewed in an overview format, allowing players to grasp the overall structure based on card names and types. By selecting a card, the card detail view opens, enabling closer inspection of effect descriptions and individual components. This allows the card list to function not only as a reference for in-game roles, but also as a point of reference for understanding the design intent behind the card set as a whole.

In this update, the designs of the card name display box and the card type display box (such as “Magic”) have been updated. In card games, the ability to instantly identify a card’s name and type directly affects both the speed of player decision-making and the accuracy of choices. Especially in a design like Buidlers Guild, where multiple cards may exist on the field simultaneously and decisions are made based on differences in roles and effects, visibility is not merely a matter of appearance, but a foundational element that supports the overall gameplay experience.

Epics DAO is a project designed to confront long-standing structural challenges in open source software development. While open source plays an essential social and technical role, continuous development and maintenance often become unstable, leading to repeated situations where valuable technologies and initiatives cannot be sustained over time.

Behind this lies not only a lack of funding, but also a structural difficulty in maintaining the conditions that allow developers, supporters, and users to remain continuously involved from their respective positions. When engagement becomes fragmented, technical debt and maintenance burdens tend to accumulate, further undermining long-term sustainability. Epics DAO approaches these challenges by designing mechanisms that enable engagement to circulate and persist under these structural realities.

Buidlers Guild is positioned as one concrete implementation of this approach. By placing the three roles of Dev, Degen, and Investor at the center of its game design, the cards are structured on the premise that these perspectives intersect within a shared competitive framework, even as each engages from a different viewpoint.

The Buidlers Guild Alpha card packs are traded on Magic Eden and other Solana NFT marketplaces.
