BANDAI Card Games Fest 25-26 in Las Vegas with Toy & Hobby Expo | Day 1

 

What I don't like about this is that they've cramped every Bandai games in 1 video. For me who is only interested in product and card reveals, I could easily miss them. I will post all the information about Bandai games on 1 post, save me from posting the same video over and over again.

I'm not going to post all Bandai card games on this video as I am not interested in some of them even though I'm contradicting with the blog name. The stuff I post will also be not in the same order as the video as I'm scrolling to see which product information I found first.

One Piece Card Game

OP15 is release just after the rotation kicks in. This would make it easier for me as I don't need to go through all the possible builds using OP15 set. This is also the set where the second half of EB04 will be in, so this is another important set especially if you are chasing some of the EB04 cards.

Cards

It would be either OP14 or OP15 where 1 of the set will have 2 manga rares since there are 2 sets in 1.

Just like OP14, there's going to be 7 Leaders in OP15, but OP14 was a 7 Warlord set, so it would make sense to have 7 Leaders, whilst OP15 also have EB04 Leader Bonney.

Only 6 DONs allowed, well, everything makes sense for Enel support. This could be a strong deck or could be just a fun and casual build.

My translation is nowhere near close for Secret Rare Luffy, but this is definitely a powerful card to have.

Dash Pack

Dash pack for OP15.

ST30 Luffy & Ace

Something new is ST30 Luffy & Ace, the 2 brothers finally unite and fight. I can't wait to try out the Leader, and judging by the packaging, I am guess Red/Green Leader.

It's a shame they did not reveal the effect even though they have the artwork and design ready.

Premium Bandai

Pretty much same as JP for Premium Bandai stuff.

WCS Schedule

Here is the timeframe for WCS.

You get 1 of these cards for participating.

I rather take top 64 prize over top 16 because it's Hancock. I don't want Crocodile.

Although top 8 prize is attractive.

The 3 Brothers playmat, is that it for winning?

I hate how Roger and Whitebeard looks so much better than the Championship playmat who looks like they've just copied and paste the SR art onto the mat.

The Live action Chopper DON.

Treasure Cup Prizes

Rotation

Extra Grand Battle Prizes

The art is diabolical, imagine if you didn't win and they gave you a crying Perona for reaching top 4. This is like rubbing salt into the wounds.

Pirates Party

This is definitely for me since I am more casual player rather than going all out on chasing top meta decks to try and win the tournament.

Limited Deck Format is definitely for me, top 10 most used Leaders will be banned, so I can just go and invent some deck builds with less popular Leaders like I'm already doing with some of the Leaders for the blog.

Digimon Card Game

As you know, AD01 also comes with reprints, but I don't know if you can call this Alt Art. It's basically just Gold border like Yugioh who call them Gold Rares. Alt Arts would be a different art style, that's how I would translate Alt Art name.

Cards

Hybrid is going to be so much fun especially when both of these cards can let you play different colour Tamers. Maybe, this would make Susanoo more consistent.

Here is the AA version of Aldamon and Beowolfmon, and they definitely look pretty cool.

DNA Omnimon is here for our DNA WG and Malga, I could update that deck since I think I posted a build on here. This has Raid Blocker and Partition, but the 2 effects looks pretty strong. The first effect is pretty much a board wipe if your opponents doesn't have a stack like your DNA digivolve stuff. Plus, even if you can't board wipe all of your opponent's Digimon, you can delete the last Digimon that wouldn't be returned.

The second effect is pretty much anti Training and anti Memory cards. I thought I wouldn't see those kind of effects in DCG, and not only that, you also trash your opponent's Security as well which is so good to have in the build.

The AA in this game definitely outshine their normal arts.

ST23 Digimon Beatbreak

Here is the release date for ST23.

Some cards revealed for ST23, I think they are okay for a starter deck, but I would need to test them out to have my honest opinion. I can't really judge from the card effects.

ST24 Digimon Data Squad

ST24 also releases on the same day as ST23.

Both of these decks will be trashing cards from your Tamers.

BT25 Dual Revolution

Of course, a week later, we will get a new booster set for DCG.

Three Musketeers is still getting support surprisingly. This definitely help for Three Musketeers since hard playing those cards will give plenty of memory to your opponents.

Surprising to see BeelStarmon to get Dual card, but also make sense considering how the deck is work. This is a Blocker which is nice, but the first effect is pretty much similar to how BeelStarmon works which is playing Options for free. But I guess the second effect will be very useful for the Blocker ability.

Now moving on to Fly Bullet Option effect which looks the same as the original Fly Bullet effect except this time you can also add Three Musketeers to the digi source.

EX12 Digital World Shambala

Looks like AD01 Hybrid supports could also go very well with EX12 set which is releasing in July.

A Sneak Peek of the art, and they look very cool.

BT26 Timeless Bond

This is the set where the Digimon will be related to Time Stranger game if you have been playing that game.

Personally for me, these looks the best so far.

EX13 Chivalrous XIII

FINALLY, ULFORCE IS GETTING SUPPORT, I will stop complaining now and I will take this.

Ban List

Looks like Digimon will also get a new ban list around the same time as One Piece. I haven't keep up with Digimon, so I don't know what cards will be hit, not like I care much as long as my Ulforce is still at full strength.

Gundam Card Game

Product schedule for GCG.

Cards

Industrial 7, I think is this one where they've dropped the colony. Anyway, this is okay, reduce the 1 AP could means your Units can't be destroyed, who knows,

Oh, we could swap protect the Pilot with this effect, but it does mean that you would be potentially reducing the AP/HP, unless both will be destroyed. I guess this works like the anime, especially with that art.

Endless Waltz

Looks like Endless Waltz will be joining the game. Now the Wing series feels complete.

Information on New Starter Decks

For me this is important information as GCG is not just a 1v1 game, even though the main WCS is 1v1. It's good to know that the decks also works in multiplayer.

Beside Close Combat mobile suit, I also like bit and funnel, which is why Throne Zwei who later becomes Arche was the one I really like the most until Qant got released. Judging by the quote, we are getting burn damage and I do like burn. Literally if any games have burn damage, I would play that deck.

This looks like we either got Repair keyword, or these cards will have massive HP so they can't be destroyed with 1 hit.

Accessories

I really want that 00 playmat even though I don't play the game in real life. I could use that mat for other card games.

WCS

I think this was announced during Link Station video which applies the same for global.

The 3 Levels of the WCS.

NA/Europe will have an early start I guess.

The Prizes for WCS, and honestly, not really attractive like OPCG prizes, but then again OPCG prizes are not great either.
