Necrobinder Full-Art Card Pack

Necrobinder Full-Art Card Pack

About This Mod

This is a proof-of-concept full-art visual pack for Slay the Spire 2.

It expands the current Necrobinder card portraits into taller full-art-style images and imports them through Card Art Editor. The current pack covers all 88 Necrobinder card portraits in the synced manifest and includes the starter cards. It is visual only: it does not add cards, rebalance cards, change card effects, or alter gameplay.

The 2026-05-12 Necrobinder replacement pass pulled in all 17 issue-card replacements from the review albums and rebuilt the Card Art Editor import bundle. The rebuilt pack was imported locally through Card Art Editor and confirmed working in game.

This is still not a final-polished art overhaul. Some cards may look stronger than others, and future Slay the Spire 2 updates may change card IDs, paths, or rendering behavior.
