Epics DAO Announces the Release of Null-Attribute Card Designs in the Solana NFT Card Game “Buidlers Guild”

Epics DAO, operated by ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki), has released the designs of Null-Attribute cards for the Solana-based NFT card game “Buidlers Guild.”

The newly released designs include Null-Attribute magic cards, equipment and tool cards, and monster cards. All released cards have been added to the official Buidlers Guild NFT card list page.

Within Buidlers Guild’s attribute framework, Null-Attribute cards are positioned as an attribute that does not belong to any attribute-based advantage or affinity system, instead functioning as foundational and prerequisite structural elements.
With this release, the overall composition and role of the Null-Attribute card group can now be viewed in a comprehensive manner.

Details on individual card performance, effects, and configurations can be checked via the card list page, where cards are displayed in both list and detailed views. This announcement focuses not on the individual card contents themselves, but on the overall structure of the project and its design philosophy.

Epics DAO confronts the reality that, while open-source software is indispensable as a social and technological foundation, its maintenance and long-term sustainability remain structurally unstable.

This instability does not stem from a lack of value or significance. Rather, despite substantial work being carried out and important contributions being continuously made, these efforts are often difficult to visualize, leading to fragmented evaluation and intermittent engagement.

When engagement cannot be sustained, technical debt and maintenance burdens tend to accumulate, ultimately undermining the sustainability of the underlying infrastructure itself. Epics DAO approaches this cycle as a structural issue to be reexamined from the ground up.

Buidlers Guild is designed as one concrete implementation that addresses these structural challenges.

In competitive card games, a functional deck is only achieved by combining different types of cards such as magic, equipment and tools, and monsters. No single category can stand on its own; strategy emerges only when each fulfills a distinct role and interacts with and complements the others.

Null-Attribute cards play the role of providing the foundational conditions of a deck without being influenced by specific attribute relationships.
Rather than introducing advantages or disadvantages through attribute affinities, they offer structural stability, reproducibility, and baseline conditions that allow cards of other attributes to function as intended.

The three roles within Buidlers Guild—Dev, Degen, and Investor—are intentionally designed to mirror this card structure.
Each role differs in nature and motivation, yet the system cannot function if any one of them is missing.

Cards are not granted as rewards or instruments of speculation; they are structural elements that illustrate how roles combine and under what conditions the whole system becomes viable. Just as a deck only functions when magic, equipment and tools, and monsters are combined, Dev, Degen, and Investor are likewise incomplete in isolation.

Through the existence of cards, where each role acts, what it supports, and within which structure it gains meaning becomes visible not through explanation, but through structure itself. Buidlers Guild is designed to function on the premise that these relationships are inherent from the outset.
