ORIGINAL ART CARDS
In the spirit of craftsmanship, each edition of Ultimate Matchup will feature a series of original art cards, designed not from an AI generation, but from a real, human graphic designer with a passion for sport.
The launch edition features work from Leo Zarosinski of Portland, OR who brings a fresh, animated style to the top players in the game.
