Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames Debuts Type-Shifted Tera Pokémon ex

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Pokémon Company International has unveiled the next expansion in the bestselling Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames, which will launch at participating retailers worldwide beginning Aug. 11, 2023.

The upcoming Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames expansion will introduce type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex to the Pokémon TCG, where certain Tera Pokémon ex cards will feature a different Energy type. For example, Trainers will see Charizard ex as a Darkness type versus its usual Fire type, as well as Tyranitar ex as a Lightning type versus its usual Fighting type or Darkness type. When attacking, type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex will use the same Energy as their usual type; however, they will have a different Weakness that corresponds with their shifted type. These cards will also follow the same rules as normal Pokémon ex — when Knocked Out, the type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex gives up two Prize cards instead of one.

Noteworthy cards from the expansion include:

  • 15 Pokémon ex and six Tera Pokémon ex
  • 12 illustration rare Pokémon
  • Six special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards
  • 12 ultra rare full-art etched Pokémon ex and Supporter cards
  • Three hyper rare gold etched cards

Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames will be available in booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes and special collections at Pokémon Center online and participating retailers worldwide. Equipped with two additional booster packs and one additional illustration rare style promo card featuring the Pokémon Center logo, the Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box is available for preorder now for Trainers in the US, Canada, and UK.

In addition, ahead of the release of the tabletop version, Trainers will be able to play with Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames digitally via the Pokémon TCG Live app for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows devices on Aug. 10, 2023. When logging in, the Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames Battle Pass will reward players with a new deck, featuring Darkness-type Charizard ex. Players can also unlock an additional premium deck featuring Toedscruel ex by redeeming Crystals, earned by completing daily quests.

It’s Maze of Memories, Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows, and Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition in March and April for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Posted on by Leave a comment

The 25th Anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh! fell on February 4, 2024, but fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (TCG) are already preparing for the massive milestone! This Spring, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) is starting up the celebration with three thrilling releases, each exploring epic eras of Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom: a new booster set, a new Speed Duel Box, and the return of one of Dueling’s most popular collectibles!

Maze of Memories is a wild ride through Dueling’s most spectacular stories, creating cards out of key places and events from almost every era of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series! Then it’s back to Duel Academy with Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows, a brand-new Box Set ruled by some of the school’s biggest villains. And finally, the celebration kicks off in full with Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition, loaded with classic booster packs like Invasion of Chaos, Pharaoh’s Servant, and the set that started it all: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Maze of Memories

On March 10, get ready to explore hidden archives of Dueling’s history! Maze of Memories delivers incredible new cards inspired by some of the most celebrated characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and animated series, like Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, and Yusaku Fujiki,

Command a new version of Yugi’s first Ritual Monster and unleash Black Luster Soldier – Legendary Swordsman: whenever it wins a battle, it shuffles all cards your opponent controls back into their Deck! Relive the days of Duel Academy by activating it as a Field Spell that unlocks three powerful effects to match the monsters you control. You can even rev it up with Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon! Based on Yusei’s signature Synchro Monster, you can use it to Synchro Summon a Level 10 monster on your opponent’s turn and protect it from your opponent’s activated effects! Revisit your favorite moments from Yu-Gi-Oh! history with more than 20 new cards.

After Gate Guardian’s return in last year’s Speed Duel GX: Midterm Paradox, prepare for the ultimate encore. Brand-new never-before-seen World Premiere cards let you combine the iconic Kazejin, Suijin, and Sanga of the Thunder any way you want, to Special Summon earthshattering new Fusion Monsters!

Finally, Maze of Memories includes plenty of high-impact reprints: must-have cards for the modern Advanced Format, as well as your favorite Time Wizard tournaments. It even offers a second chance to add one of the most powerful Synchro Monsters of all time to your Dueling arsenal: Baronne De Fleur! Armed with an effect that destroys any card on the field once per turn, this Level 10 Warrior Synchro can negate and destroy almost any card that activates an effect. You can return it to your Extra Deck to Summon it again later, and when you do, you’ll Special Summon a monster as big as Level 9 from your Graveyard to take its place! Baronne de Fleur is incredible on its own, but it’s also the perfect combo for the new Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon: use it to Synchro Summon Baronne de Fleur on your opponent’s turn and shield it from all of your opponent’s activated effects!

Enter the maze on March 10 to discover the treasures hidden within! The Maze of Memories booster set contains a total of 67 cards: 42 Rares, 15 Super Rares, and 10 Ultra Rares. 15 cards also appear as stunning Collector’s Rare variants. Each booster pack contains 7 cards: 1 Foil card and 6 Rares. MSRP: $4.49 per 7-card pack.

Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows

Then on March 31, you’re heading back to Duel Academy! The Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows is another all-in-one box with 8 Speed Duel Decks included, pre-built and ready-to-play. Every Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows Box comes with 200 Speed Duel cards, a mix of powerful reprints and dozens of cards that are entirely new to the format. Each box comes with 8 Secret Rare variant cards too: you’ll get Secret Rares of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, and Raviel, Lord of Phantasms in every box, as well as 5 more random Secret Rares from the complete set of 24.

You’ll also find 20 all-new Skill Cards featuring characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX animated series. Open the box, grab some friends, and get ready to Duel with Supreme King Jaden’s Evil Heroes, Kagemaru’s Sacred Beasts, Camula’s Vampires, Nightshroud’s Dragons, Adrian Gecko’s Cloudians, Tania’s Amazoness tribe, Titan’s Archfiends, and Amnael’s Alchemy!

Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows even includes Skill Cards for popular supporting characters: if you picked up the Speed Duel: Battle City Box and Speed Duel GX: Duel Academy Box, you’ll have all the cards you need to assemble your very own Dark Scorpion Deck, led by Don Zaloog himself! Call upon the Spirit of the Pharaoh as Abidos the Third, unleash a Reptile rampage as Thelonious Viper, or harness the powers of darkness with a new version of Yubel.

You’ll even find strong cards that are totally new to Speed Dueling, for characters who appeared in previous Speed Duel GX sets: Jaden Yuki’s Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman and Chazz Princeton’s Armed Dragon LV10 both make their Speed Duel debut, and if you’re lucky, you could open either of them as Secret Rare. Even Chumley Huffington gets a powerful new addition to his Chillin’ Outback Deck, with Vampiric Koala!

The latest Speed Duel Box is stuffed with awesome reprints too! Speed Duel devotees can score sought-after competitive cards like Nightmare Wheel, Zoma the Spirit, Book of Moon, Wall of Disruption and more. Meanwhile, fans of Advanced Format Dueling and Time Wizard tournaments will find cards like Super Polymerization, D.D. Crow, Macro Cosmos and Allure of Darkness! All four cards appear in every Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows Box as Speed Duel Commons, legal for play in all your favorite formats. But if you’re lucky, you might find them as Secret Rares!

Speed Duel GX: Duelists of Shadows arrives on March 31! Every Speed Duel Box includes 200 Common Cards, 20 Skill Cards, and 8 (of 24) Secret Rares. MSRP: $29.99 per set.

Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition

And on April 21, get ready for a blast from the past! The fan-favorite Legendary Collection is back, re-envisioned as the Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition, and it’s jam-packed with classic cards and retro booster packs from the early days of Duel Monsters.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, KONAMI is reprinting 6 booster packs from the early years of the game.

Go Classic with the Pokémon Trading Card Game

Posted on by Leave a comment

During the 2023 annual Pokémon Day livestream, the classic trading card game is getting a new release called Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic. The “premium” Pokémon set is “designed to last a lifetime” and contains everything you need to play.

The release features preconstructed decks and gameplay accessories that have been “uniquely designed to be both beautiful and functional to deliver a polished battling experience.”

The set is a collaboration between The Pokémon Company, Creatures Inc., and design firm nendo, and a premium Pokémon TCG set that is designed as a staple playset for any Pokémon TCG fan.

  • Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic
  • Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic
  • Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic

The new release features:

Three Preconstructed Decks:

  • Iconic cards from the history of the Pokémon TCG, including Base Set Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, headline three specially constructed 60-card decks featuring Grass, Fire and Water Energy types.
  • Alongside classic cards, brand-new cards such as Ho-Oh ex, Lugia ex and Suicune ex are included, allowing players to form new strategies.
  • Except for Basic Energy cards, cards included in Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic cannot be used for tournament play. However, these static decks are perfect for challenging friends and family to a Pokémon TCG battle at any time.

High-Quality Game Board:

  • The foldable and portable two-player game board comes with card placement zones for Active Pokémon, Benched Pokémon, a card deck, discard pile, and Prize cards.
  • The game board features a compartment that holds up to three decks, as well as a toolbox complete with all gameplay accessories needed for battling.
  • The game board offers a premium fabric surface that allows cards to easily slide across, non-stitched edges to avoid cards getting caught when playing, a fabric hinge eliminating gaps in the board, and built-in magnet to minimize noise during gameplay.
  • The black-and-white color scheme of the game board has been designed to match the toolbox and card sleeves while maintaining a visual focus on the cards and tools.

All-Inclusive Toolbox:

  • The toolbox contains enough gameplay accessories for two players to battle, including stackable damage counters, three-dimensional Poison and Burn markers, and metal orbs that take the place of Pokémon coins.
  • Players will be able to roll metal orbs down a small chute — if the orb lands in a white-bordered hole, it’s treated as heads, and if it lands in a black-bordered hole, it’s treated as tails — removing the need for dice and coins.

Intuitive Damage Counters and Special Condition Markers:

  • The toolbox includes a set of damage counters featuring yellow 10-damage counters, orange 50-damage counters and red 100-damage counters.
  • I n addition to the bright colors, each damage counter prominently displays thedamage count on its side, allowing players to quickly calculate the total damage count.
  • Designed with a conical shape, the damage counters are stackable to maximize visibility of in-play cards and allow for easy storage.
  • Made from aluminum, the damage counters are moderately weighted to prevent falling over when vertically stacked.
  • Three-dimensional, ring-shaped Poison and Burn markers are also included in the toolbox to allow players to easily identify these Special Conditions.

Elegant Card Sleeves and Deck Boxes:

  • Featuring a Poké Ball motif, three kinds of card sleeves are included to protect the three preconstructed decks.
  • Card sleeves have been purposely designed in a black-and-white color scheme to maintain visual focus on the card artwork.
  • Three deck boxes featuring the Grass, Fire and Water Energy symbols match the preconstructed decks and allow for easy storage of sleeved cards when not in use

Expected to arrive sometime in 2023 the price is unknown.
