Mr. Destructoid has been in plenty of videogames, but never a card game. That changes withupcoming downloadable trading card gameZ. He joinsTex MurphyandJessica Nigiri(Pikachu girl,Lollipop Chainsaw) as some of the guest cards that will appear in the game, and you’ll want to be aKickstarter backerto make sure you get all of the guest cards.

Mr. Destructoid needs some card art, though. Creators Downward Viral are holding a contest where fans can send in their imagined version of our beloved mascot for his cards (one survivor picture, one zombie picture). Two winners will be chosen on Monday, June 25, and will be awarded aZ. Kickstarter grab bag worth over $1,000 in goodies.
