5e Spell Cards You Design, Printed for the Table
Fifth edition changed its spells again - and printed card sets go out of date the moment errata lands. Print your own 5e spell cards instead: current rules text, your wording, your art, on real card stock.
Upload any photo — your kid, your pet, your whole team — pick a pro template, and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days.
Boxed spell card sets have two problems. They freeze the rules at whatever printing you bought - pre-2024-update text stays wrong forever - and they cover zero homebrew. If your table runs updated wording, house rules, or custom spells, the official box will never match your game.
With Snapshot you write the card text yourself, so your deck always matches the rules your table actually uses - 2014 wording, 2024 updates, or your own fixes. Upload art for each spell, print at standard 2.5 x 3.5 inch card size on premium stock, and get the deck in 2-3 days.
Here is what makes a printed 5e deck worth it.

Build Your 5e Deck in Three Steps
You control the art and every word of rules text.
Pick the Spells
Start with the spells your caster actually prepares - most decks run 10 to 25 cards. Add reaction spells and concentration effects you always need to reference.
Upload Art and Write the Text
One image per card plus the name, level, and rules wording your table uses. Official phrasing, 2024 updates, or homebrew - your call.
Print and Play
Premium 2.5 x 3.5 inch cards, cut clean, shipped from the USA in 2-3 days with a free magnetic case.
Design free, preview free, pay only when you print.
Why 5e Players Print Their Own Spell Cards
The whole point of a custom deck: it matches YOUR game, not a printing from years ago.
Always-Current Rules Text
Errata, the 2024 rules update, table rulings - you write the text, so the card is never out of date. Reprint a single card when wording changes instead of rebuying a boxed set.
Covers What Boxes Never Will
Homebrew spells, subclass features, magic item charges, potion effects - anything your caster tracks can become a card, not just the official spell list.
Premium Stock That Lasts
Thick 16pt card stock with a clean cut and smooth finish. It sleeves and shuffles like a TCG card and survives seasons of play.
Deck-Building Prices
First card $17.99 with a free magnetic case and free US shipping, additional cards about $2 each - a full prepared list costs less than most boxed sets.

Where Custom 5e Cards Beat the Box
Three tables, three reasons to print your own.
The Updated-Rules Table
Your group moved to the 2024 rules. Boxed cards still say otherwise. Print the spells your casters prepare with the current wording and stop re-litigating every casting.
The Homebrew Campaign
Custom setting, custom magic. Print spell cards that use your world's names and your DM's wording so the homebrew feels as official as anything in a book.
The New-Player Table
New casters learn faster holding their five spells as cards than flipping a rulebook. DMs print starter decks for first-time players - it is the best onboarding trick in the game.
Trusted at Game Tables
5e groups print spell decks with us because the boxed sets never keep up - rules change, campaigns go homebrew, and players want their own art on the table. The stock quality is what surprises people: these shuffle like cards from a booster pack, not craft-project paper.
Costs Less Than a Boxed Set
Design is free. A single card is $17.99 with case and US shipping included.
Additional cards are about $2 each up to 18 per box, so a typical prepared-list deck lands well under what an out-of-date official box costs.
And unlike the box, one card going stale costs $2 to fix, not a whole set.
Box Options
Simple, collectible pricing. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.
The Rookie Box
Perfect for those unforgettable moments
$17.99 - $49.99

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these official 5e spell cards?
No. Snapshot is not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast. You design each card yourself - your art, your text - which is exactly why they can cover the 2024 rules update and homebrew content that official boxed sets cannot.
Do they work with the 2024 rules update?
Yes, because you write the rules text. Print the current wording your table uses, and when errata changes something, reprint just that card.
What size and stock are the cards?
Standard 2.5 x 3.5 inch trading card size on premium 16pt stock. They fit standard sleeves and shuffle like a real TCG card.
Can I mix spells, items, and features in one order?
Absolutely - each card is its own design. Most players build one order that covers their prepared spells, a couple of magic items, and a class feature or two.
How fast is turnaround?
Printed and shipped from the USA in 2-3 business days, free magnetic display case included.
