The Dragon Ball Super Card Game started in 2017, the newest game based on the long-running anime and manga property. DBS uses a system that evokes the rapid action of the series. The game uses a two-sided Leader Card, representing the main character of your deck. The deck contains 50 to 60 cards, with an optional sideboard of up to 15 cards for more competitive play. Decks use a mix of Battle Cards, Extra Cards, and the recently added Unison Cards. Any card that isn’t immediately useful can be played in the energy zone. The leader you have chosen will influence the strategy and playstyle of your deck, but doesn’t impose strict limits on what cards you can use. More information, including tutorial videos, can be found on the rules site.

BCW carries several items that will help protect and transport your DBS deck. The Leader Cards are two-sided, making normal sleeves less than ideal. A clear sleeve like the Deck Guard allows both sides to be seen, although many players prefer to use a Mini Snap Card Holder. Deck boxes can vary depending on what you use on your leader card. If you use a clear sleeve, almost any standard deck box will work for you. A good example is the Deck Case LX. Using a Deck Vault 100 will give space for your deck, leader in a mini snap, and have room for dice and tokens if your deck needs them. The Deck Vault 200 pictured below has trays for two decks, plus an extra tray for dice or tokens. In any case, sleeves will be useful as well.

Dragon Ball Super is a fast-paced game with few to no “dead turns”, easily playable in both casual and competitive situations. If you are a fan of the show, or even if not, it may be worth looking into for your next game.
