Inkwell Ideas 5e Creature Decks: Beasts, Oozes and Plants

Picked these up (and Inkwell's NPC deck) to fill in some of the gaps in the official deck (which is filled with a surprising number of gaps). I have to say, I actually like the art better than the official ones (took me a second to realize some of the cards with the "normal" animals were slightly tweaked actual pictures). While I use D&D Beyond, it's a pain to have multiple monsters visible at once. Planning ahead I can grab just the cards I'll need (or because they're the size of a regular-sized deck of cards, all of them) and have them laid out behind my DM screen for quick visibility on stats. A neat tool to add to my DM toolbox.

These cards are great! I love the card quality, all pertinent information is on them. I am using them for my ranger who has the conjure animals ability and this is where the small problem comes in. I have different color sleeves for each challenge level so it's easier to tell how many of each beast I can call. Unfortunately, the swarms are double sided so I have to cover up one side of the swarm. Also, the giant creatures are on the same card as the regular sized counterparts. So while the design is great for condensing a few cards, it is also somewhat problematic for separating by color. I know a lot of people probably don't do that, but it does cause a bit of an issue for me. Everything else is great though.

These cards of a more recent print being done in 2018. Do have a slightly wider card then those cards printed in 2016. Those cards refering to the other 5e Creature Decks. A great tool for druid and rangers to be used with animal companions, wild shape, conjuration spells.

Great way to add beast cards for druids! I'm excited to share with the players tomorrow. The cards use animal photos on one side and have all the relevant stats on the other. I love how the giant forms are grouped on the same card to eliminate excessive bulk.Reached out to Inkwell Ideas with questions when I ordered and Joe was willing and eager to help. Very pleased with the product and the company. I will be coming back for more!

These are perfect for playing a Druid. It makes it so much easier to reference different animals then having like 5 browsers open on my phone while playing. And they’re the same size as regular playing cards.

Pretty shoddy bottlegs. Info is hard tonread and the pictures are randomly between photographs and art of varying quaility. Not. A fan

Came promptly and looks to be good condition. The cards are not quite the same quality as trading cards are (magic, pokemon, yu-gi-oh) as the back side is a printed picture of the creature being represented, but for reference purposes these are delightful. Feels like they will hold up, but will not be shuffling them any time soon.Will be sleeving these into either clear sleeves or 3x3 pages.

I like the cards very much. They've been useful so far, until last night when I realized that blights are not in the deck and I was in need of the stats quickly. I'd assumed they were here due to the plant listing on the front of the pack, but, Alas!...nope. What's the reasoning behind that?
