BCW Supplies is gearing up for the July 24-28, 2024, National Sports Collectors Show in Cleveland. As our booth (6052) will be in the Corporate Area, we will not be selling supplies at the show, just offering FREE samples and displaying our newest products to protect, store, and display your sports cards and memorabilia.
Gen Con attendees can visit the Spectrum, powered by BCW Supplies, booth 2707 during exhibit hall hours to purchase these limited edition Gen Con collectibles for card games!
The 2024 Gen Con Card Sleeves comes in packs of 100, perfect for MTG Commander and other standard size card games. These will be $12 at the Spectrum/BCW Gen Con Indy booth 2707 while quantities last.
Most game shops fall under the Wizards Play Network banner, but only a few have WPN Premium status. WPN Premium stores receive several benefits, such as exclusive product, WPN Premium promo cards, access to special events, and exclusive marketing materials. However, WPN Premium stores are expected to be among the best of the best, so there are several requirements a store must meet to be accepted. You can find an overview and checklist on the WPN Premium Hub.
While product knowledge and running engaging events are important aspects, many of the requirements focus on layout design and general upkeep of the store. Important areas highlighted are Card Storage and Shipping Boxes/Cardboard. In short, cardboard boxes need to be out of view, and card storage needs to be in an organized and matching solution or out of sight. The BCW 6 Drawer Card Catalog meets the requirements for card storage without the use of cardboard. This helps check off 2 important requirements, letting you focus on other areas. Best of all, the Card Catalogs are modular, letting you easily add more units as your inventory grows.
The Card Catalog is an excellent way to help your shop meet – or maintain – WPN premium status. Combining a high-quality look that fits nearly every theme with a modular design, the 6-Drawer Card Catalog will make storing and searching your card inventory easier than ever.

Stand Up! Vanguard!
Hey guys, it’s Serena again, buzzing in to bring you another Cardfight Vanguard deck tech! This time we’re talking about the lovely lady, Lascaria! Debuting in DivineZ’s first full set, Fated Clash, Lascaria is a new Stoicheia deck that focuses on the Veleno Famiglia and their boss, Lascaria and has the ability to use multiple blitz orders in a single turn!
The Spectrum Prism deck cases have become a popular option for gamers looking for a simple and effective box for their decks. As you likely know, they hold 100 double-sleeved gaming cards. While this is great for Commander players, many ccgs simply don’t work with them. With that in mind, we would like to introduce our 50 ct Prism Cases.
Like the 100 ct Prisms, these deck boxes are made of sturdy plastic with a smooth finish. They also have the same snap closure and squeeze to open feature as the original. However, 50 ct Prisms are slightly thinner, letting them fit in a 1600 or 3200 ct Card Bin for storage or transport. Of course, since the design won’t let them open accidentally, putting one in your backpack is a great way to carry them too.
As the name implies, the 50 ct Prisms hold 50 double-sleeved or a little over 60 single-sleeved tcg cards. This makes them perfect for games like:
Pokemon: 60 cards

BCW Showcases are perfect to protect and display sports memorabilia. Showcases keep dust off your memorabilia, but more importantly, the cases minimize handling of the collectible. These display cases are available in several sizes, and corresponding Wood Bases are available to add a bit more grandeur. The Wood Bases feature a mahogany-finished, simulated wood and have a mirrored bottom. The Showcases and Wood Bases are sold separately.

When doing some spring cleaning, I came to the realization that I needed to do something with the stacks of collectible Beckett and Sports Illustrated For Kids magazines I had sitting on my bookshelves and make them look a little more organized and not so much “I am hoarding”.
That’s when I went online shopping and grabbed some materials that would help with this project.
Pokémon ex (as opposed to Pokémon EX) were introduced in the Scarlet and Violet base set and immediately made an impact on the game. Some of these ex Pokémon have the Tera type, which makes them immune to damage while on the bench and changes the Pokémon’s type as well. Tsareena ex is such a Pokémon, and while it isn’t meta-defining, it can be very powerful with the right backup.
Hey guys! It’s Serena back again!
Let’s talk about vehicular combat! More specifically, I was inspired to build myself a new Alela, Artful Provocateur deck, built around vehicles. Last time we discussed a deck with more combo potential, but now we’re going for more of a midrange resource generative game plan. This list will be a heavily modified Buckle Up precon from Kamigawa Neon Dynasty, with a focus on token creation to use to pilot our mechs. The Buckle Up precon is blue and white, but with Alela add black for some classic Esper artifacts. Alela is a stellar vehicle commander, because every time you cast an artifact (or enchantment), she gives you pilots to crew your mechs. We also have a whole garage of draw engines to get us on the streets in style! As a refresher, Alela is a 2/3 Faerie Warlock with flying, deathtouch, and lifelink, and gives your other flyers +1/+0. You also create a 1/1 faerie token for every artifact and enchantment you cast. Those tokens are great for getting in the robots below.

Hey guys! It’s Serena back, this time taking another dive into Commander!
As you may have noticed, I’m a big fan of Lyrical Monasterio and Bermuda Triangle in Vanguard, so we’re gonna submerge ourselves into an upgraded “Explorers of the Deep” precon deck from the Lost Caverns of Ixalan. To start off, Explorers of the Deep is a merfolk kindred deck in blue and green, and also has some nice +1/+1 counter synergies. While the preconstructed version uses Hakbal of the Surging Soul, I’ve cut that card entirely. The commander we’re going with is Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca, which enables our combos a lot easier, including some game-ending infinites.
