Thank you for always playing MONSTER CARDS!
In this update, a brand-new in-game tool called MONSTER CARDS BINDER will be introduced, allowing you to search and browse card files with ease!
We’ve also optimized the loading speed of card files, so you should notice a clear improvement in overall usability when handling them.
Furthermore, the Plus License DLC, which greatly expands customization freedom, as well as three new skin-included Skill Pack DLCs, will be released.
The newly released Skill Packs — Card of Sunrise, Card of Named, and Card of Horror — can be used to create cards with the corresponding skills even without purchase during Early Access. However, we’ve also prepared a special bundle for those who want to get them early or enjoy the exclusive skins, so be sure to check it out!

MONSTER CARDS Ver.0.21 Patch Notes
MONSTER CARDS BINDER
MONSTER CARDS BINDER is a brand-new card selection tool that replaces the “Explorer” and “Pseudo Card Binder.”
You can enable it by selecting MONSTER CARDS BINDER under the card selection tool option in the in-game settings.
Tagging Feature
You can now assign up to three tags in the card settings screen.
These tags can be used as search keywords within the newly added MONSTER CARDS BINDER, and they will also be displayed in the flavor text section when zooming in on a card.
This makes it easier to highlight whether a card belongs to a specific series or category!
Adjustments to Painting Tools
With the addition of new customization features included in the upcoming Customization Expansion DLC, several enhancements have been made to the in-game painting tools:
①・・・Presets for changing brush size
②・・・Option to adjust the opacity of the card frame
③・・・Sliders (from right to left): Scale, Vertical Move, Horizontal Move
Movement can also be controlled with the WASD keys or arrow keys
Scaling can also be controlled with the mouse scroll wheel, or by pressing Left Shift + W/S or Up/Down arrow keys
④・・・Toggle button for Borderless Layer (extended customization feature)
⑤・・・Background color layer
You can choose whether or not to display the background color layer during cut-in animations
New Battle Option: “Discard Play Limit per Turn”
To prevent scenarios where activating Fusion multiple times in a single turn could lead to an overwhelming board state early in the game, we’ve added a new option to limit the number of times Discard can be played per turn.
By default, this is set to 3 times per turn, but it can be adjusted in the battle settings screen.
Note: This is an experimental balance adjustment related to the Fusion skill. We’ll continue to monitor player feedback and gameplay situations to refine the balance further.
New Sample Cards
By purchasing the Customization Expansion DLC “Plus License”, the following new features will be unlocked:
Unlimited Rerolls
The number of rerolls during card creation becomes unlimited.
Note: In Ver.0.20 the limit was 12, and in Ver.0.21 it has been raised to 20 even for players without the DLC.
Borderless Layer
Allows illustrations to extend beyond the card frame.
This can be enabled/disabled for each layer via the checkbox next to the layer button.
Note: While the paint tool allows drawing up to the card’s edges, parts of the frame will still be masked in order to show the card’s rarity.
Live Motion
Adds effects to layers, allowing your artwork to be expressed more dynamically.
Motions are created by combining multiple animation presets.
