Blast Ace releases November 17th, and that means it’s prerelease weekend! Make sure you check with your LGS to see if they are running any events. You can also check TCG Plus for events near you. Participants will receive a special 2-pack of stamped promo cards in addition to this cute Gatomon!
Prereleases are a great way to meet others in the community, play some Digimon, and have a great time. Winners of the event will also earn a special Greymon (X Antibody) silver foil, and it looks amazing!
Don’t forget to support your LGS. People who purchase a booster box during Prerelease weekend get an additional promo pack! Blast Ace has some solid Box-Toppers you’re going to want to get your hands on. I know it’s always cheaper to buy the singles you want, but nothing beats cracking a bunch of packs.
The Box Toppers in no Particular Order

The Digimon Card Game Tutorial App, available for IOS and Android devices, has been updated to include the new Wolf of Friendship and Dragon of Courage starter decks. The app is a fantastic tool for learning how to play the Digimon TCG because it offers easy to follow instructions of some fundamental mechanics. The inclusion of the newest starter decks mean that beginners can begin by learning the new ACE mechanics. If you are interested in picking up the Digimon TCG, I recommend you check out the app. I can only hope that this update will one day lead to an online client so that I can play this card game from the comfort of my home.
Bandai has also released an ambiguous trailer for a new project. It featured a new Digimon and a series of words that make me think that we may get some sort of anime or short to push the game. I can only hope that we get a web client, but there is too little information to know for sure. Whatever this is, I am excited and can’t wait to learn more!

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
Last week I wasn’t too impressed by the state of the upcoming Versus Royal Knights (BT13) set, but this weeks reveals is beginning to change that. There are some cool cards I’d love to add to my binder, and a new mechanic I would love to mess around with. The set comes out on July 21st, so make sure you pick it up from your LGS. I do these updates once a week so if you’ve been enjoying these updates, don’t forget to subscribe and share this with your friends.
Gen Con Promo
Gen Con is just around the corner, and those going should definitely go pick up the promo because this Veemon is so cute! Check out the Bandai booth at Exhibition Hall Booth 3023.
Versus Royal Knights Reveals
Starting off with the Omnimon because who doesn’t want another one?
I love the art style and color for the Data Squad lines in this set. They really drummed up my excitement for this set. I can’t wait to see them in a binder. The new Burst Digivolution seems like a neat mechanic as well.
The Box Topper
I am not super impressed with the box topper, but I guess it shouldn’t matter because I never get the cool one anyways.
Event Pack Card List Updated
Those participating in the Ultimate cup should know that the prize pack card list has changed. If you are interested in playing in the event, make sure you head over to the official website to sign up at an event near you! I wish I had more free time. I’d love to play a little Digimon and get my hands on some of these cards.
This week we got a lot of reveals for the upcoming Versus Royal Knight set, and the cards look very cool. Versus Royal Knights is set to release July 21st, but it isn’t available for pre-orders yet. Until then, I guess we will have to settle for looking at the card art longingly until we can add them to the collection. If you have been enjoying these updates, don’t forget to subscribe and share this with your friends!
Versus Royal Knights Box Topper
I’ll start off with one of the set’s box toppers. Box toppers are unique promos you can get for buying a booster box of the set. While it isn’t guaranteed you’ll get a WarGreymon Ace, it is still very cool card to lo look at. I’ve never gotten lucky with the box toppers.
Versus Royal Knights Spoilers
In Store Tournament Promos (July – Nov)
The in-store promos are so cute! I wish I had enough time to make it to locals. I would love to start using my collection to play games, but there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. I just hope this game gets enough traction to get an online client so I can play it as much as I play Pokemon now.
That’s it for this week. This set is cool looking, but its not as cool as Alternative Being was. I am not sure I’m convinced enough to buy into this set, but there are some cards I am going to need to update some of the decks I have kicking around. The art is fine, but there hasn’t been a card that excites me like the previous sets have. Maybe they’ll win me over with the full arts? See you next week.
I know I am a little late on this update but it is a holiday weekend for me. This week’s update will heavily feature Premium Bandai collections that might be worth getting if you enjoy the exclusive promos they offer. Premium Bandai is where you go to get the official high-quality collectibles of your favorite IP’s that fall under the Bandai umbrella. It is more expensive than the traditional Bandai merch, but they are worthwhile additions to any collection. Check out the official website and say goodbye to your money.
Royal Knights Binder Set [PB13]
The Royal Knights Binder and promos shipped. I didn’t order this piece of merch and kind of regret it. The Binder is $50, which is pricey for a binder. It comes with 10 9 slot pages and eight alt art promos. The promos are all so pretty! My complaint is that you only get one copy of each of these promos. If you wanted to play with copies of these cards in your deck, you would have to buy additional binders, but I guess you wouldn’t want to play with pieces this nice. It is still a pretty binder, and worth it if you just collect the game.
I love the art on the binder and how it gathers all of the royal knights together in a pretty epic pose. The gold boarder makes it pop. It really looks like a premium product, at least based on the picture.
I’m starting off with my favorite of the promos from this set. Gabumon looks so cool here! I love the colors and the Omnimon in the background. The foiling for this is going to look so pretty in a binder, but it has a solid search ability if you want to play with it as well. Too bad you only get one copy.
I love the Agumon is mid Pepper Breath. The shading also reminds me of the retro art from the old cards and it really makes Agumon pop.
This Dracomon is so cute! I love the expression on its face and the dragons that swirl around it. It has such a great color scheme and the foiling is going to look so good.
Beezlemon Deck Box Set
The Beelzemon Deck box and the Brown Digimon Card game deck box sets have also started shipping out if you pre-ordered these back in November. The boxes are $40 each, which is a lot more reasonable when you consider you get a nice looking deck box and 12 full art cards. This set comes with six different cards, but you get two copies of each. You could have either bought both deck boxes for the playset, or been fine with just one. These would look so sick in a deck, but you there’s nothing wrong with keeping them safe in a binder. The deck box design is fine, but the card art is sick!
Starting off with my favorite, this MagnaKidmon is just amazing. I love the charging shot effect, the cool expression on its face, and the pose is fantastic. I wanted to get these boxes just for this card.
This Magidramon is beautiful. I love the paint brush style its drawn in. I like how it looks like its about to breath fire and cause more destruction. Look at how the world just burns into ash. The Gallantmon in the foreground and the Omnimon in its hand are such a nice touch. They emphasize Magidramon’s scale and power, and both are terrifying.
Beelzemon Premium Binder Set
The Beelzemon/Beelstarmon Binder set is available for pre-order until August 1st, or until supply runs out. The binder is $100, which again is kind of pricey for a binder, but it might be worth it for the promos. The binder comes with two copies of four new alt cards that you are going to need if you are running a Beelzemon deck. I love that there is two copies of these, but I wish it were a playset for $100. Whether you play with them or keep them in the binder, these cards are beautiful.
Tamer Goods Set: Angewoman & LadyDevimon
Here is something I wish I’d preorder back when it was live. The Angewoman & LadyDevimon playmat set have shipped. The set is $40 which is fine considering you also get a playset of the exclusive alt art cards. Its a beautiful set, and I regret not getting it.
That’s it for this weeks update. There were a lot of cool alt cards that I would love in my collection, but I unfortunately missed out on them. Maybe one day. If you’ve been enjoying these updates, don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends. See you next week!
The Digimon Card game has had its resurgence for a couple of years now, and I have since started my humble collection. I love the art and enjoy the gameplay. Sadly, I don’t have the time to play at locals or online, but I love collecting. There are ways to play online if you don’t mind the clunkiness of Tabletop Simulator or the awkwardness of playing through a webcam with strangers on Discord, but I am a little too socially awkward. I can only hope that there is enough of a market for the game that one day, Bandai will release a web client like the big TCGs.
In an effort to give the game more exposure and hopefully convince some folks to join the hobby, I will start making weekly updates on the news related to the game. Please I will be coming at these announcements from the perspective of an enthusiastic collector rather than a competitive player or an investor. This post will also include spoilers for an unreleased set, so if you care about spoilers, stop reading now. And as always, make sure you like and subscribe!
Alternative Being [EX-04] Spoilers
This theme booster is coming out on June 23rd and the art for this set is so good!
I want to start off with Omnimon Alter-S because it looks so cool! Man the art is amazing, and the affects are pretty cool. DNA Digivolution is such a cool mechanic and you get some pretty nice removal and board expansion.
This looks like its going to be a great set to collect if you like the Greymon and Garurumon line. I’d love to add these to my binder!
Locals
The local scene hasn’t had too much love, at least in my area. I had a chat with the manager of my LGS and was told that Bandai was spending more resources promoting One Piece. They weren’t getting much prize support, but that might be changing with the new prize support promos that were just announced. I can’t tell you who is getting allocated, but there might be incentive to collect some.
Tamer Party
Tamer party is a special event for the month of June with the goal to encourage new players to the hobby. This is a casual event designed to teach players how to play. There is no winner, but participants will get special four card packs with a chance of hitting a very cool Magnamon. Check with your LGS if they will be participating.
I don’t know about you, but I love the retro vibe for this Magnomon. They other cards you can pull are pretty exciting as well.
I am most excited for Aldamon if I am being honest. I know there is a lot of hate for Frontier, but it is my favorite season of Digimon. The story might not have been the best, but it had an amazing concept and a fantastic opening song. There might be bias because of how impressionable I might have been at that age, but I don’t care. I like what I like.
June 2023 Store Championship
While not the most exciting news, if you have access to decent local scene, might be a good chance to get some unique promos.
June-August Events
There is a lot going on for competitive players. Both the Ultimate Cup and Championship will be going on across the regions with some pretty solid prize support. looks like there will be both online and offline events, so make sure you go sign up for what works best for you.
Its time to earn your path to the championship. There are some nice promos so make sure you check out what is available to you.
Ultimate Cup
The Gigimon looks so cute!
And for those who care about the meta…
Here are the top 4 decks for the April-May Regionals
North America
Europe
Oceana
Digmon Dreamers
Digimon Dreamers is getting its English release on the Digimonweb. Hopefully it gets a proper translation and not Google Translate like Digimon Seekers.
That’s all I have for now, I haven’t decided on the release schedule for these updates but I will be back next week. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment if the mood strikes. Until next time!
The winners for the 2023 Digimon Illustration winners have just been announced. Winners of this competition will have their cards printed in special promotional packs at a later date.

Make sure you go over to the official website for the ruling.

I just wanted to share the news because the cards are beautiful, and wanted to spread the news. My hope is that it will get other people interested in at least collecting. I just started my collection and I am obsessed. I haven’t had a chance to play the game with people because my schedule is so busy, but the gameplay is pretty fun. If you want to start learning the game, they have a free app for Android and IOS devices that shows how to play. The official Reddit and Discord are great places to go if you want information or want to pick up a game or three. I will make sure I come back with news on how to get the cards.
