Promo Cards

In an effort to promote the game, stores will be relieving special promo packs to give out at events. Make sure you check with your LGS for details! There are six unique promo cards you can receive, and each pack contains one of the following:


Booster Box

Booster Boxes come with 16 9-card booster packs. You can pick them up now:


Meister Set

Now if you want some swag, you might want to spring for the Meister set. The set includes:

  • 1 Special Promo Card (Looks like Anya)
  • 1 Storage box for your cards
  • 10 Booster packs
  • 1 Rubber playmat

The Anya card is cute, and if you like the set, you might want to pick one up. You can up a set from TCG Player for $85 (including shipping), or from your favorite card shop!

You get a 50 card deck, a paper playmat, and a deck manual to get you starter. You can pick up the Spy x Family trial deck for $26 (including shipping) or from your favorite card shop.

Alchemical Revolution Introduces 3 advanced elements

Alchemical Revolution releases on January 26th, and it is bringing the three new advanced elements: Neos, Astra, and Umbra. Check with your LGS for preorders and events. If that isn’t an option, you can always pick up Grand Archive products or preorder Alchemical Revolution on TCG PLayer using my affiliate links.

There is a lot to be excited about, so let’s look at the spoilers. If you enjoy these updates, please leave a like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. 


Neos

Toniris Level 3

Neos gives Tonoris the ability to summon an Obelisk each turn to help you control the battlefield. Obelisks have unique abilities, and they get big fast if they aren’t dealt with. It is a very cool mechanic for a very cool hero. Make sure you pick up the starter deck when it becomes available.

So Many Tokens

Neos gets stronger the more tokens are on the field, so make sure you fill it!

Neos Tonoris

Players who want to hit hard, have crazy board control, or just love the token meta should pick up the Tonoris starter deck and work their way out.


Astra

Astra gives players the power of the cosmos, and there is no hero better suited for its power than Arisanna. This gives players access to Starcalling which says:

While you’re glimpsing and you see a card with starcalling, you may activate it during that glimpse. In addition, paying to starcall a card is usually cheaper than playing and paying for it from your hand. However, whenever you do starcall a card, you must put all the remaining cards in your glimpse on the bottom of your deck.

This is such a cool ability, and one that you get for free each turn with Arisana at level 3. 

Tools

Tools will let you glimpse and starcall, but make sure you do so efficiently.

Astra Arisanna

Astra make Arisanna an interesting deck, but it also makes her one of the harder decks to play because of how much you need to keep track of. If you love the thrill of top-decking, memory control, and deck manipulation, pick up Arisanna!


Umbra

Umbra gives Diana the power to cast curses at level 3, and curses make her scary. Each bullet she shoots generates a creeping tournament, and torments put attach a curse onto whatever champion Diana hits. I love the flavor of this mechanic. I might end up playing Umbra Diana because everything is purple.

Curses and Tools

Umbra Diana

If you like playing on your opponent’s turn, ranged characters, and casting curses, you should play Diana. I’m a huge fan of the flavor and color scheme myself.

Grand Archive: Alchemical Revolution Releases January 26th

Alchemical Revolution 1st edition releases on January 26th, so don’t forget to put in your preorders. 27,000 1st edition boxes and 2,500 starter deck displays have been printed for this run. The 1st edition booster boxes won’t be reprinted and the starter decks might, so make sure you put in your preorder. Always support your LGS, but you can pick them up on TCG Player.

If you like anime, you are going to want to look into Grand Archive. I love the art, and this upcoming set looks amazing. Alchemical Revolution will include 214 movie cards and 227 foil variations. The set will introduce three new classes (Guardians, Cleric, and Ranger), three new elements (Neos, Astra, and Umbra), and three new starter decks (Arisanna, Diana, and Tonoris). I’ll be doing a deeper dive on the set in a future post, so stay tuned for that. 

Booster Boxes will MSRP for $107.99, individual starter decks for $14.99, and you can pick up the starter deck displays for $134.99. You can pick up booster boxes close to MSRP ($110 including shipping) on TCG Player, but I would look for decks elsewhere. Currently they are out of stock, but you can keep checking to see if they go up after release. I’ll leave links just in case.

The best way to start is to check to see if your LGS will be holding any events for the release. There is also official print & play support for those of you who want to try it first, and an active discord for when you get hooked. I for one can’t wait to see more of the set because what I’ve seen so far has my hyped.

Weiss Schwarz TCG – Guilty Gear -Strive- Set List

I’ve been looking at the Weiss Schwarz TCG for a bit now because I like the art. Weiss Schwarz prints sets of popular IPs like Avatar the Last Air Bender, Sword Art Online, and Overlord, to name a fewThere are some sets I am definitely thinking of collecting since the booster boxes aren’t expensive. 

I’ll kick things off by showcasing the latest set, Guilty Gear -Strive-, released on December 15, 2023. I’ve never played the game, but some of these cards look so cool. A booster box of Guilty Gear -Strive- is only $60 on TCG Player which is cheap for a TCG.

All the Black cards from Animal Colosseum – Digimon Card Game

Animal Colosseum releases on January 19th, so let’s look at the black cards hitting the format. There is a bit of overlap with my previous post.
