I founded Mana Moon in 2020. But before being a "brand", I was just a freelance artist living in a basement painting on trading cards while hand-crafting leather goods circa 2009.

Yu-Gi-Oh was a core aspect of my child, teen and adulthood. That game kept me going through the worst periods of my life, and my art over the years always drew inspiration from it. 

One day, in 2020, I decided to invest everything to my name into a deck box idea I had: The Dicewinder.

It would be the first deck box on the market with a fully-detachable magnetic dice box, and its production deposit would wipe every dollar to my name clear out of my account.

I pulled the trigger and dropped the first dicewinder months later in 2021.

Now, with over 10,000 "Dicewinders" sold as of 2025, and the format also being adopted by many other brands, I'm happy to say I'm glad it wasn't a mistake to believe in myself despite all of the struggles. And since then, we innovated other concepts including pushing printing method limitations for the deck box medium, designing the 'tower' format, and inventing our bolted album page systems, and more.

Thanks to meeting so many amazing art friends as the brand grew, we have been able to bring hundreds of fresh, fun concepts to the community together, and continue to invest our efforts into challenging the boundaries and limitations of the TCG accessory market.

We pride ourselves in understanding brands are built off the backs of creatives, as creatives ourselves.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
