Opening packs is one of the most-fun parts of card collecting. But then sorting the cards? Eh, not so much. We like to see what new goodies await in each foil pack that we rip. Yet, once the cards start to pile up, there’s the unenviable task of sorting them. Fortunately, Modular Sorting Trays make it quicker and easier to put your cards in order. And they’re also easy to move and store, which is great if you can’t permanently dedicate your dining room table for sorting cards.

FFTCG Deck Tech – Scions of the Seventh Dawn

One of the major draws of the Final Fantasy TCG is the ability to make decks based around your favorite games. Both casual and high-level players do this, with archetypes such as Avalanche hitting the top of the meta. This deck follows a similar theme, but at a lower level. Read the full list on the ffdecks.com site.

In the lore of award-winning MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are a group players become associated with that seek to defend the realm of Eorzea against threats too strong for the Grand Companies to handle. In FFTCG, they form the core of a speedy deck that rewards playing as many Scions as possible. It performs best when keeping the opponent under constant pressure until you can create an opening and swarm in.

Variety of Card Sizes in BCW Pocket Pages

If you are like me, you enjoy putting your trading cards in pages and albums, so you can protect your collection in a way that also lets you easily look at it. But one point of frustration for collectors is when they come across cards that are not the standard 2-1/2” by 3-1/2” size. What’s a card collector supposed to do with postcards, odd-sized team-issued cards, or even cards that are just a touch larger than normal size? Fortunately, BCW has you – and your cards – covered, as it has archival-safe pages that will fit almost any collectible.

Cardfight Deck Tech – Pure Rondo of Eventide Moon, Feltyrosa Standard

By Serena L.

Hi, I’m Serena, and I’ve been passionate about card games since I was 8 and have kept up with them for over 20 years. I’ve played quite a few, including MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, and most notably, Cardfight Vanguard. I have a particular interest in the Overdress/Standard format.

Stand up, Vanguard!
Feltyrosa is all about Calling her Ghostly friends to aid her on stage, then swarming your opponent with up to 5 attacks and 4 drive checks! With Rondo of Eventide Moon, when Feltyrosa’s drive check reveals a Ghost normal unit, you get to Call it to an open front row rear-guard circle. If you do, you can Counterblast 1 to get another drive, and can do this as many times as you can Call off her Skill. You can find a full deck list on Bushiroad’s Deck Log. You can find more information on the game at the official website.
