Claimed to be the greatest team in the history of the card film industry — “Mu Lei” is born. With even the elites of the academic world unable to decipher these cards’ structure, his powerful cards were able to unnerve even the federation, causing the greatest Card Creators and Card Fighters to grow frantic, triggering open battles and covert maneuvers among various interest groups — all behind the silhouette of Chen Mu. Although he was not the originator of the federation’s unrest, he was definitely the number one reason for continuously escalating it.
Through his exceptional intelligence and toughness, he evolved from the weak to the mighty. From a solitary life of survival to his collaboration with his friend to the team’s business of fantasy stories: As card films full of fantastic oddities flowed from Chen Mu’s hands like an unending stream, his own fighting strength rapidly grew. Fame, wealth, beauties, dangers gathered all around from far and near until finally, he became a paragon of inspiration to all.
《卡徒》描写了一个以卡片为核心的流派林立、利益纷争的联邦社会。在这个社会里，和谐只不过是彼此力量的均衡暂时没被打破而已，一旦均衡被打破，大规模的冲突就在所难免。陈暮，一个以求生为目的的小小制卡者，本来是没有想法、也没有能力打破这种均衡的，但当他与一张神秘卡片的偶然交集后，他的命运不仅因此发生了彻底的改变，联邦的历史也最终因他而改写。
号称联邦卡影史上的最强组合--“木雷”横空出世，令学院派精英也无法破解的制卡结构，丛林通讯技术，力量强横的数字卡片系列等等，每一个事件都能牵动联邦的神经，都能够令最大牌的制卡师和卡修抓狂，更能引发利益集团之间的明争暗斗，而这些事件的背后都有着陈暮的身影。他虽然不是联邦爆发动荡的始作俑者，但绝对是动荡不断升级的原因之一。他以超人的智慧和韧性，演绎了一个从弱小到强大、从孤独求生到兄弟合作再到团队运营的传奇故事。当千奇百怪的卡片源源不断从陈暮的手中流出的同时，其自身的战斗力也急剧上升，名誉、财富、美女、危险亦从四面八方向他的身边云集，最终成就了一个勤者无敌的励志典范。
小说虽然立足于幻想的世界，但展现的却又是现实的人生。抛开作者虚拟的背景，我们看到了同样的商场、战场和情场，同样真切地感受到了青春热血、兄弟情谊、红粉佳人所带来的冲击和愉悦，只不过和很多网络小说不同的是，这里的商场诡异但不奸诈，战场惨烈但不血腥，情场香艳但不低俗。这或许是作者的高明之处，无疑也是读者和中国原创文学之幸，正因为如此，成就了一部近年来可以称得上经典的新幻想小说，让我们值得像收藏金庸、梁羽生、古龙的武侠小说一样把它摆到我们的书架上去。
