Update: If you're shopping from Europe, I've added a special page that shows items that are available in and will ship from Europe. Shop the European Catalog.
You asked, we delivered! Our initial round of Out of Cards Merch is now available! If you've been wanting to represent the site IRL, you can do so by heading on over to our dedicated Merch Shop.
To kick things off, we've got some clothing (Shirts & Hoodies), Mugs, Stickers, and Phone Cases all with our fantastic logo. We'll be branching out more in the future, including some fun game-specific swag, and will provide updates here on the site when new items become available.
All merch purchased through the shop ships from both the US and EU, depending on where you're located provided the product is properly in stock, so Europeans shouldn't be charged the usual additional international fees (though I can't guarantee that).
I've been wanting to get this going since earlier this year, but our merch provider wasn't taking on new items for a few months due to issues surrounding the ongoing pandemic. Now that those delays are resolved, and I've received samples that I'm happy with, we've been able to put the merch store up. There are still some minor production delays in certain spots where merch is produced, and shipping might be a bit slower than usual if you happen to be in an area with reduced logistics, but everything will arrive with tracking for that peace of mind.
What are you waiting for? Rep the site with some merch!

Would it be possible to add a little table to the site of the mug that shows oz in ml? Just like with the sticker page that translates inches to cm.
Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the dropdown to show the ML in brackets. For ease of reference for anyone who hasn't cruised on by yet:
Personally love the larger 15 oz. Makes for good hot chocolate :D
Thank you! I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but the speed with which you react to constructive criticism just never stops to amaze me.
Do you know where they ship from?
I'm afraid i have to pay import taxes
I've made a dedicated section for European Merch. This is also linked at the top of the Merch Store under "European Catalog". Anything there will ship from Europe.

For other countries around the world, fulfillment is only in the US and Europe (Though Stickers and Mugs can be fulfilled in Australia too) so if you're worried about import taxes, my suggestion would be to only order an item to possibly skirt through the customs process. For what its worth, when I ordered samples of everything, they came from the USA and I wasn't charged any import duties when they came over the US/Canada border. I also received each of my items one at a time which was sorta frustrating, but that likely helped with that too.
Fulfillment is either in the USA, Latvia, or Spain. It will ship from the closest available source unless it happens to be out of stock. I wish there was a way we could automatically display that information to everyone because I know how much import taxes can suck.
Thinking about it though... I could probably set it up so we had different products based on your region. I'll have to dig into that.
Nice, I don't really plan to buy anything but it is nice to see. Personally I think my new profile picture would make a great shirt, but that's just me.
Now we need a strategy to make the brand interesting widely across the card games communities!
ie I follow OOC on daily basis (for HS), I participate here since a long while, but I'd never buy the t-shirt, because:
1) style is ok, but not particularly fancy, and most importantly,
2) the brand says nothing to others, not even in my social circle, so I wouldn't feel stylish or cool enough at wearing it. It'd be like a random shirt.
So we must find a way to improve point #2 and make it feel more unique.
Ofc the above is subjective to where I live, but I think it's relatable enough.
The mug instead is very cool on its own! Derpy Unicorn fits mugs and breakfasts with style. Maybe that item could be the real ram into the ooc brand marketing.
PS: what about alterations of the logo for seasonal holidays (winter jumper with Derpcorn wearing reindeer horns would be the dream)
PPS: maybe partnership with some streamers?
Hey RavenSun!
I definitely agree that more can be done with it. The primary goal for the initial push was to give people an option to grab some swag with the mascot on it because in a survey, quite a few people had responded they were interested in exactly this. I know on a personal note though, I don't really just like wearing logos of things outside of maybe if one was to go to a specific event and it fit in there well with the crowd.
Creating a unique style, incorporating the brand in different ways within those styles is a more long-term goal with what kind of merch we're going to offer. I'd like to create stuff that isn't just tied to the site but rather the card game genre in general. Some stuff might end up being really far out there and over the top while other stuff may be more subtle. Launching different collections of products overtime will hopefully bring out stuff people of all sorts of types will be interested in.
It's also funny that you mention seasonal logos though. This was actually a big design decision for Derpcorn back when it was originally created and I hope we can get on that train for the events towards the end of this year. Halloween just has too many options and the end of year festivities also gives us some fun potential for mascot upgrade. Playing dress-up = yessss!
Is there any explanation about out of cards symbol? Like reference and stuffs
I think it's a reference to Unicorn Priest. It's a mythical, good Priest deck that Ben Brode suggested exists many years ago when this class was in a terrible shape. It became a meme on Reddit and everyone built their own decks saying they found the combination
See, that would just be too smart. I miss the days of the Unicorn Priest hahaha
Hey Vandaren!
I wrote about Derpcorn a while back, March of 2019 to be exact, in our "Welcome to HearthStation" article.

Although the description only applied to Hearthstone back then, we have the same idea for other titles covered.
Cool, thanks Mr.Flux!!
As a pin collector, I would shell out 20-50 bucks to get a set of Out of Cards pins. Good luck expanding the store. I hope it can pull in some funding for growth!
I would LOVE to do pins. I've got hundreds of them myself and it's something that we might have to run some form of a Kickstarter for them to see if we could make it happen. It isn't possible to do low batches of pins since the tooling for them is expensive and they require minimum quantities.
One day, we will definitely have pins. I have no clue when we'll be able to make that a reality though.
Totebag already sold out? This is true aggro rush deck xD
Our supplier, unfortunately, ran out of totes sometime between yesterday morning and now, so they automatically went out of stock on our store. RIP that opportunity :P
Gotta nerf them quick.
