I've just gotten my copy of the Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set. I plan to unleash it on some muggles, and it looks like a great set for short easy to digest game sessions. But the thing that caught my attention the most, is the monster cards in the box. These cards are the stat block of creatures on one side, and an image of the creature on the other. They'll be an invaluable aid for the starter set, but I have to say, there is a massive missed opportunity here.
Give us a box set of the entire Monster Manual in card form.
Wizards of the Coast knows how to make cards. Magic the Gathering is their primary business. They've shown how well these cards can come out in the Heroes set. They already have the images and the stat blocks for every monster in the Monster Manual, in stat block form. The only thing left to do is actually prep print-ready versions of them, and sell them. For the longer stat blocks, with monsters that have lair actions etc, that can be a second card. One card for the monster, and a second card when they're in their lair that adds additional actions.
You did a great job here, and these have come out really well. Don't leave money on the table. Print out the Monsters as stat cards. Print out the full class spell cards. Print out every magic item in the DMG as a card. As a DM, my game would be so much more organized and easy, if I had all the monsters I intended to use in a stack, ready to show the image of the monster to the party, then use the stat block in the battle. A sheet of tokens for those monsters would be nice but unnecessary, but the cards are a must have for in person play.
They did them via GF9 for 2014e but sort of playing card size. I'm not sure how popular they were - they stopped making updated ones before MotM came out. I don't know how profitable they'd be.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
I also purchased the starter set, and the card quality is excellent. I'm now looking for other physical card options to use for mastering. Do you know of any stores or sources where I can find item and spell cards for D&D 2024?

From what I've seen, only Gale Force 9 (as mentioned above) does cards for official content. And that's only 2014 stuff.
Thus my request for official WOTC produced sets built on the good foundation in the Starter Set.
