MORANA: The Open Grave · The Ash Rite Card Template

Sealed, then Turned

The whole card is identical for both players. Only the picture in the Nav band is hidden, and only until the card first falls. Scratch the panel to Turn it.

SEALED · every copy ships this way

TURNED · yours, the night it first died

Tap the dark ash band on the left card to scratch it. Tap again to re-seal the demo.

The manufacturing spec

Card stock & cut

Trim size	63 × 88 mm (poker / standard TCG)
Bleed	+2 mm all sides → 67 × 92 mm
Safe margin	3 mm inside trim
Corner radius	3 mm
Stock	300 gsm blue-core, linen finish
Colour	CMYK, 300 dpi, gold as spot or rich-K

The ash spot layer

Zone	Nav band only: 51 × 14 mm, 4 mm inset, top at 45.4 mm
Layer stack	1. Nav art in CMYK. 2. release / gloss varnish (NON-NEGOTIABLE: lets the ash lift clean with no ink damage beneath). 3. matte charcoal scratch-off latex. 4. overprinted ash texture on top, so the sealed state reads as grave-ash, not a silver lottery panel
Removal	Lifts clean with the bone grave-key; the release layer protects the art beneath
Never overprints	Text, stats, keywords, barcode, corners
Registration	±0.3 mm to the Nav-window die
Durability	Interior window (away from the flex edges) plus a no-shuffle play loop means it survives handling before the intended reveal, the failure that sank border scratch-off on shuffled cards
Small-run reality	Factory scratch-off needs a ticket / lottery house (MOQ 500 to 1,000+ per design). At a Kickstarter run use an APPLIED ash seal instead; reserve the factory panel for runs past ~10,000 units

What is printed in the clear

Card name, Ember cost, type line and rarity gem
The living (Yav) illustration, in full
Every rule, keyword and stat
The Reborn cost and the full Reborn power text, so both players always know it (this is The Open Grave)
Collector number and set symbol

What the ash hides (art only)

Only the Nav-face illustration in the band
Nothing mechanical, ever. A sealed card and a Turned card are the same legal object
Revealed once, on that copy's first death, and never re-sealed
No lottery, no hidden power, no pay-to-win. The mark is memory, not advantage

Why it is safe to reveal: because the Reborn power sits in the clear, a scratched card grants no information or edge a sealed one does not. The Ash Rite is purely cosmetic and tournament-legal, which is exactly why it can be permanent. It turns the one thing every other game treats as wear, a used card, into the one thing no one else can own: proof that your copy died in a real game.
