- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019NOTE: I Copied and Pasted my Review from "Dungeons & Dragons Spellbook Cards: Monsters 6-16 (D&D Accessory) below. I felt the same review could apply for both, so I'm dropping it below. Will fix relevant information.
PROS
Quality: Top Notch. Not only do the cards have all the essential information, but the artwork is great, mostly pulled from the MM if I'm not mistaken and maybe some other sources. I started collecting the Class Cards last year and the quality compared to those are the same.
Price: Price seems to be in line with all the other sets I've purchased in the past. I will admit that buying multiple or even all sets at once can be costly. I made a habit of simply adding a deck or two to my usual Amazon Orders and it was far less impact-full on my wallet. After a few months I had my whole collection.
Usage: The main reason to buy these is convenience. As a DM, while building my encounters, I would create index cards to copy my creature/ncp information on so that I could have them handy instead of flipping through books to find relevant information. These cards not only eliminate the need for that, they also provide a visual aid for players to go along with your verbal description of creatures if you need. This will save me many hours over the years to come!
CONS:
Card Size: In hindsight, it should have been obvious top me, but it wasn't made very clear that you'd be provided with different size cards: 2.5" x 3.5" and 3" x 5". Some of the monsters have many actions that require the extra space to include. If you plan to organize these cards with sheet protectors, please note you'll need both the 9 Card Sheets and 4 Card Sheets in tandem. This unfortunately also causes you to have organizing issues. I had to separate my cards into two groups based on the card size, and then alphabetically. This is minor, but still bugs me sometimes when looking for a specific creature and I'm not sure whether it will be in the small deck or the large deck.
Monsters and NPC's: As others have stated, there appear to be cards "missing" since there are several popular creatures not included in the deck. I agree that the description here can be misleading, as I too thought ALL monsters in the 0-5 Range would be included but they are not.
With a bit of research, you can see that the manufacturer has created two other decks (not yet released) that should fill out these gaps. "Creature and NPC Cards" and "Epic Monsters" appear to me to have the remaining monsters needed to complete your monsters from both the PH and MM, assuming you have "Monsters 6-16" and along with this set "Monsters 0-5" already.
Overall, I feel this set was well worth the price. The quality is here, and the added convenience is a guaranteed time saver. Though the description is misleading, definitely look into these if you have a real need for them. You won't regret it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2022The media could not be loaded.
the violence. It's like a spice cabinet of creatures. I think the duplicate stuff may be taken care of on the most recent prints.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2024I purchased card sheet protectors and a binder to store these in.
I dig out whatever Monsters I'll need stats for before a game and it's made running a D&D game much smoother.
It's also awesome to use if you're building your own campaign and want to find Monsters for it based on CR.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2023These cards are a great purchase. So much easier than writing out stat blocks, printing them off, or flipping through a book.
Little tip if you get these and want to put them in a binder, the larger cards are 3.75ishx5.75ish. Get recipe card binder pages, now you're not locked into the overpriced binder sheets this company sells.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019Wonderful for the stressed DM, just wish the missing cards didn't stress me out so much! The product implies all encounters for 0-5 CR. In this, even the artwork is lifted from the Monster Manual, so I expected to get all the 0-5 creatures, but there are some omissions. There are not many, which makes it puzzling to why there are any at all. Would rather have spent an additional $1 for all the cards from the MM than missing some.
Still, good card quality and helpful in quickly setting up encounter stats. Would recommend, just realize you are not getting everything implied.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2023Great cards. I wish they would be shipped in more protective packaging. The bubble mailer didn't cut it on other orders where cards got smashed on corners. These luckily made it through the second time around.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. We have been using them in all our dnd sessions and our party is amazed with the set. This was the perfect gift for my boyfriend/DM. The cards have detailed stats about the monsters and the illustrations are awesome.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020Great product! A must for any DM. Made it so much cleaner and easier than rifling through the Monster Manual, especially when there are several different monsters in a battle.
The cards are nice and sturdy, and have all the critical info you need. They even have references to the page number in the MM if you want to read descriptions/lore.
Keep in mind that it doesn’t have the miscellaneous creatures or NPCs you’ll find in the MM appendices. They sell a separate box for those.
Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5/5: Great addition to your game
High quality card. The only downside is that some monster of ther basix rules are missing, like the banshee. But overall, it can replace the monster manual for cheaper

4.0 out of 5 stars Bom, mas cuidado
Algumas das cartas vieram com defeito de fabricação, mas nada que atrapalhe muito, fora isso são ótimas, recomendo como um acessório para mestres.
- Lain Alex ADAMReviewed in Australia on August 17, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars That's a buy!
These cards are really cool. I love the art of the monsters and the ease of the layout. All the information for a monster is on the card and very easily accessible rather than flicking through a book to find the details. There are also some monsters I wouldn't have thought to use but can now add them into my games to make them more interesting.
Very well priced too for the amount of cards you get in the box!

Muy buen producto pero no todas las cartas son de la misma medida, tiene algunas que son el doble de grande y no cabran en tus protectores regulares

3.0 out of 5 stars Cartões de boa qualidade, mas algumas figuras repetidas e feias incomodam
Cartões com estatísticas completas, resistentes e com bom acabamento.
As artes são, em geral, as mesmas dos livros.
Contudo, três problemas são sérios: há imagens repetidas pra monstros com estatísticas diferentes, algumas artes são simplesmente recortes mal feitos de páginas inteiras do livro, e os cartões de tamanhos diferentes dificultam a organização em ordem alfabética ou por números das páginas.
Não pretendo comprar os demais.
