I adore kung fu bear, I've had loads of fun with it in decks over the last couple years, but most recently in Lugia it's been a power house.

The black & gold treatment with the red edging is honestly one of the nicest released (save for maybe Mew, the pink is 😘🤌)

Another break from the usual Pokémon affair because honestly I am having so much fun with the set it's unreal.

I've managed to get my grubby little mits on this ring art for a new deck that will focus on amassing a giant army and punishing anyone who wants to target my Commander 👀

Something a little different.

I've recently been dipping back into as a way to stage off burn out, meet some new people and expand my tcg knowledge.

I've been having a blast learning about new mechanics and broadening my card-play vision which I don't can take back to Pokémon and improve my tournament play.

This Teysa Karlov card doesn't have a use for any particular deck (yet) but I loved the Secret Lair artwork so had to pick it up.

What do you think of this card? Do you play and/or collect multiple tcgs?

There's something different about Japanese cards. They just seem to be that much higher quality.
This Candice is a prime example of the greater quality over it's English printing. The colours, holofoil and centering are infinitely better.

My all time 2 favourite cards in my collection. Nothing expensive. Nothing super flashing. Nothing with a Charizard on it. Just 2 good boys and one Gym Leader.

I had an awesome time today at and got to try out Lorcana in person!

The game is great fun to play, and has loads of room for tactical play.
And the cards look incredible in person.

Are you looking forward to playing Lorcana? Have you already? What do you think of it?
