Story Time!

We were out and about when we were passing my LGS. I pointed out to my wife thinking she wouldn’t want anything to do with my cardboard addiction anymore, but she pulled into the parking lot without asking any questions. The place was packed! We walked in during their Sunday events and my wife was surprised by how lively things were. As we were walking out, I saw the Tristan Re:Collection box and bought it without a second thought because they still had it at MSRP. My wife asked me if I wanted to sit down and play at one of the tables, but I think I’ll try to go in next week. I’m so excited! 

What’s in the Box?

The Re:Collection box includes:

  • Preconstructed 60 Card Main deck
  • 12 Card Material Deck
  • Tristan Dragon Shield Art Sleeves
  • A set of cards to complete the playset of cards included in preconstructed deck
  • Damage Spin Down Counter
  • Art Deviders
  • 3 Mercurial Heart Booster Packs

Impressions

The Storage and presentation for this box is so pretty. I love purple and the box has a cool design. The components are all neatly stored inside the box, and the box opens to reveal a very cool Tristan illustration. I didn’t pull the art card, but I did pull a Foil Tristan, which was an auto include in the deck. The sleeves are very cool looking, they are easy to shuffle, and feel sturdy. I also like that the deck comes with a play set of all the cards, but we’ll have to wait and see what I keep. The deck box is a little disapointing, but fair for the $50 you’re putting into it. It barely fits the sleeved up preconstructed deck, but it will do for now. The life tracker is cardboard, but the art is very pretty. It works well, but I don’t want to use it because it looks nice. I’ll be using the art dividers though because the art is cool, and there is a lower chance of them getting beat up. I haven’t gotten to play the deck yet, but I am satisfied as a collector.
