I’ll end the Blast Acereveals on what has been consistently my favorite color in the card game, purple. Purple always seems to include my favorite Digimon, and the vibe is always good. We have a Loogamon line, which looks amazing! I am very excited to see it materialize in the web novel. You can also check out my version where I try to clean up the translation. I am a huge fan of the art, and any set that includes more Globimon and Ogremon wins me over instantly.

And a bonus Colorless because it didn’t fit anywhere else
Blast Ace releases on November 17th, so let’s keep the reveals going with the black card list. I am very excited to see characters from the Digimon Seekers web novel pop up in the card game. Black has lots of fun colors and some iconic scenes and characters from the web novel. I love the Neo Tokyo vibe of some f these cards, and all the different Numemon are a nice treat.
You can read the Digimon Seekers web novel on the official website, but I’ve also been working on cleaning up the translation on my blog. Check them out when you have a chance!

The newest booster set for the Digimon TCG, Blast Ace, comes out November 17, so it’s time to get hyped. The set is introducing new mechanics like ACE and Mind Link.

The set has some very cool art, so let’s dive into it!

While we are still seeing a few familiar faces in the meta, the Sacramento regionals saw a couple of new archetypes shacking up the meta. I’ve collected the top deck list for each archetype. I’ll leave links for those who want to build them. These will be affiliate links, but I’ve been using TCG Player since before I became an affiliate because it is a great place for singles and sealed products.

1. Lugia VSTAR
Lugia VSTAR is one of those decks that always gets brought up as a strong contender for competitive play, but that hasn’t seen success until Sacramento. Congratulations to Alexander Flatos for piloting this deck to first place! This is one of those decks I’ve been meaning to try, but haven’t gotten around to.
2nd place went to an interesting Arceus deck with a splash of Gyarados VMAX that I am sure many are going to want to try. Congratulations to Niccolo Abate for piloting this very neat deck and placing 2nd at regionals.
Maraidon continues to perform well in the shifting meta. This is a solid deck for those of you who want to get started. Congratulations to Cory Laffiton on his 11th-place win.
We just got some more spoilers for the upcoming Paradox Rift set, and it is hard not to be excited. Especially when you see the alt art cards. This round of spoilers is full of cards you are going to want in your binder. Hopefully, the pull rates are better than 151. Paradox Rift releases on November 3rd. I’ll leave links below on where you can preorder if your LGS isn’t an option. Please use my affiliate links where possible.

Where to Buy
If you’d like to preorder any Paradox Rift product, always check with your LGS, but I’ve collected a few options in case that isn’t an option. Use my TCG Player affiliate links when possible. Everything is in stock as of making this post, but I’ll do my best to keep them updated. And remember, with how much Pokémon overprints, it is never a good idea to pay scalper prices, especially on preorders.
With the release of Pokémon 151, players have been curious about how it has shifted the meta. There have been a lot of cool ideas floating around on the internet, but the Peoria regionals was the first opportunity players got to test them out in an official capacity. It seems the only real effect 151 had on the meta was to edit the existing archetypes. I’ve collected a few of the top-performing decks. If you enjoy these updates, don’t forget to like comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.
1. Lost Box
Congratulations to Raymond Long for his first-place win. I just started playing a variation of this, and I regret not playing it sooner. You get some solid early-game pressure with Cramorant, you have some sweet board snipes with Sableye, Radiant Greninja, and Kyogre. If you want to get into this game, this is a solid deck to pick up. Here is a copy of the deck list that won it all.
Energy (11) 4 Water Energy 3 4 Metal Energy 8 3 Psychic Energy 5
2. Mew VMax
I have a real soft spot for Mew VMax because it was the first competitive deck I ever built. This is a quick and strong deck that is easy to pick up. Even with how popular Charizard Ex is, the Mew Vmax continues to prove how strong a contender it is. Congratulations to Rowan Stavenow for taking it all the way to third place! Here is copy of his deck list.
Maraidon has been growing in popularity since Worlds, and it is a deck that has seen consistent success in the competitive scene. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but it seems like a fun deck with a lot of solid tools at its disposal. This is JW Kriewall’s list. The deck won 4th place at Peoria.
I’ve actually been playing a bunch of Lost Box Charizard on the PTCGL ladder, and I love it. It’s not as fun as Gardavoir, but it is a solid ladder-climbing deck. People will probably hate you because that’s all that seems to live on the ladder lately, but it’s undeniably strong and easy to pick up. This is Terrence Miller’s list, who got 6th at regionals.
Gardavior is my favorite deck because it is so much fun to play. The only reason I don’t still play Gardavoir is because I am forcing myself to play my other decks. Gardavior continues to show that it is a solid and consistent deck in the competitive scene. This is Brent Tonisson, he took 7th place at regionals.
Pokémon Paradox Rift releases on November 11, and it is bringing in some cool cards and mechanics that are sure to shake up the meta. Always support your LGS, but I’ve collected links in case that isn’t possible. Please use my affiliate links where possible. And remember, never pay the scalpers!

Random Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Box
This set will have two elite trainer boxes: Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant. There will also be two promos for these kits: Screaming Tail and Iron Bundle. I don’t know how these will be distributed. I’m assuming each promo is exclusive to one box to incentivize people to purchase both, but we will have to see. The only other difference is what art you want on the box, coin, sleeves, and dice. If you don’t care about which box you get, then you should place your preorder at Best Buy or Game Stop.
Roaring Moon ETB ($39)
Now if you care about what ETB you get, you’re going to have to hit up your LGS, or trusted retailer. I am going to be a little shameless and plug TCG Player because I am an affiliate. I’ve bought a lot of products through them in the past and have never had an issue. I’ve found ETBs as cheap as $39 from trusted, high-rated sellers, but use your own discretion. If you are looking for a Roaring Moon ETB, grab it using my affiliate link!
Now if you want both, you can save a little cash on a bundle. TCG Player has a few sellers selling the ETB Bundle for a reasonable price, make sure you use my affiliate link.
6 Pack Bundle ($26.94)
Now if you just want packs and don’t care about the sleeves and other extras, the 6 pack isn’t a bad deal. You’re missing out on the promo, but that doesn’t matter if you are only wanting to crack packs. You can pick up the bundles at Best Buy, Game Stop, and the Pokémon Center. I have seen them as cheap as $23 on TCG Player. Use my affiliate link!
3 PK Blister Packs ($13.99)
These bundles are fine if you want the special promos included. You are paying a few cents extra for the promo which isn’t a huge deal. As far as I can tell, the blister packs are only exclusive to Best Buy for preorder, but that might change on release. You are getting a random bundle like the ETBs, but that isn’t as big of a deal in this case.
Build and Battle Stadium ($59.99)
Boxes include:
2 individual Build & Battle Boxes, each containing a ready-to-play 40-card deck
Each deck includes 1 of 4 foil promo cards
3 additional Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift booster packs, so you get 11 in all
121 Basic Energy cards
6 damage-counter dice
1 competition-legal coin-flip die
2 coin condition markers
A collector’s box to hold everything
Now these are arguably the worst deal unless you like the sealed draft, prerelease experience. This is a fun kit to buy if you and your buddies buy into a couple, and make a day of it. These kits release on November 17, and you can preorder them at Gamestop. I found them as cheap as $53 on TCG Player. Use my Affiliate Link!
Booster Box ($107)
Booster boxes are always the best deal if you just want to crack open boxes. I love buying booster boxes, but I just like to crack them for fun. I never intend to make any money buying these. If you are looking for a Paradox Rift Booster box, the best deals are over at TCG Player. Use my affiliate link!
Let’s keep things moving with the psychic cards that will be showing up in the upcoming Paradox Rift set. Paradox Rift releases on November 3rd.
