The Flesh and Blood Trading Card Game was introduced in 2019 with a set called Welcome to Rathe. With additional card sets, a complete FAB collection, through the Tales of Aria set, is around 3,100 cards assuming you collect three cards of each of the color-coded cards (pitch count). With a full collection, you can quickly build a blitz or classic constructed deck for your upcoming event, and easily adjust your deck as the meta evolves.
In the video below I discuss a few of the methods for storing and organizing FAB cards. I highlight the BCW 3,200 Card Bin, and how I organize the collection using the bin’s partitions and Tall Card Dividers. Further below I list additional storage options from BCW Supplies.

On October 15th, North America saw the release of the My Hero Academia card game, based on the hit anime and manga series. The game uses the UniVersus system to replicate fast head-to-head fighting action. The system has its roots in the Universal Fighting System series released in 2006. The name was changed as the game stopped focusing exclusively on fighting games like Street Fighter and Soul Calibur and used properties ranging from the Mega Man to Cowboy Bebop.
Players select a character to build their deck around. Players build foundations and assets, use action cards, and unleash attacks to try to reduce the opponent to 0 life. Each card has a difficulty printed on it and success is determined by putting the top card of the player’s deck into the discard pile, hoping for a check number that is equal or higher than the difficulty. A successfully played card remains in the staging area, increasing all other card difficulties by 1. For more information, check the resources page.
