Grand Archive: Mortal Ambition Announced for October 11th

Leave a comment

Mortal Ambition‘s release date has been set for October 11, 2024. The set explores a new world which means a new aesthetic, mechanics, and champions. The set will be released with two new starter decks, each with a chance at a random CSR. I know I won’t ever pull one, but I’ll be picking them up to keep the dream alive.

Jin Starter Deck

Jin is the newest champion to join the roster, and I am excited to see what changes he brings to the warrior class. Jin will use Wind and Exia elements in his 60-card main deck and 12-card material deck. At $14.99 MSRP ($119.99 for the case) might be a good way to get into the hobby. It won’t be as good as the Re:Collection decks out of the box, but the starter decks tend to be a solid introduction to the game. I’ll take 8.

Kongming Starter Deck

Along with Jin we are getting Kongming. Kongming is a Mage that taps into the Water and Tera elements, and I am excited to see what her gameplay will look like. At MSRP $14.99 ($119.99 for the case) you get the 60-card main deck, the 12-card material deck, and a chance at some unique CSR cards. Good luck to all the good folks chasing

Mortal Ambition

Mortal Ambitions will be hitting the shelves with:

  • 229 Unique Cards
  • 238 foil variations

Rarity Breakdown:

75C / 59U / 55R / 32SR / 8UR / 11CSR / 1CUR

First edition boxes only get one printing, so make sure you scoop yours fast before the boxes get expensive. This will be your only chance to pick up some of the exclusive collector rares. Booster packs of AMB will retail for $4.49, and boxes will go for $107.99. Make sure you get your preorders in at your LGS when they become available.

Conclusion

I know we just got Mercurial Heart, which is a fantastic set, but its always nice to look into the future. I am already digging the vibe for Mortal ambition, and the art we’ve been teased has me reaching for my wallet. I’ll probably pick up a box, but I’ll definitely be picking up the decks. I still regret not picking up any Alchemical Revolution when I had the chance.
