Elestrals<\/em> has been sweeping through the card game world for a year now, and it’s about to become more accessible. Released in 2023 on the back of an overwhelmingly successful Kickstarter campaign, Elestrals<\/em> has been taking off as well as an indie trading card game about mythology possibly could. <\/p> Players from across every major card game on the market have been converting to Elestrals, even card game content creators have made whole new accounts to play the game more and spread the word. The game has even started appearing in local game stores; it might even be at yours. Now, the game is on its way toward the next big step to finding players: a way to play online.<\/p> Around the same time that Elestrals<\/em> first released, a much bigger new card game hit the market in the form of Disney’s Lorcana<\/em>. About as far from the indie status as you could get, Lorcana<\/em> was destined to be popular on the strength of Disney’s familiar characters appearing on cardboard. A big driver for people discovering and playing the game, though, was Pixelborn, a fan-made, auto-simulated, digital client for playing Lorcana<\/em>. It was much beloved until it was shut down earlier in 2024.<\/p><\/iframe> The developers behind Pixelborn have been tapped by the Elestrals<\/em> team to instead develop their auto-sim client, Elestrals Clash!<\/em><\/p>
